Chiune Sugihara

[Alexander Jacoby]

Hi all,
 
Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat, based in Lithuania, who took considerable personal risks to assist Jewish refugees in escaping by issuing transit visas to Japan. I was glancing at his Wikipedia entry and noticed a comment that an anime based on his story was at some point in the pipeline, originally intended to be released last year in the context of the establishment of Israel. I haven't been able to find confirmation of whether this film was made and released. Does anyone know anything about it?
