“Diana’s List” is a documentary film about the extraordinary woman Diana Budisavljević, a native Austrian who married a doctor from Zagreb, Julije Budisavljević. During World War II she launched and conducted a charity of incredible proportions. In 1942, when she heard about the suffering of children in ustaše concentration camps, she launched a rescue action that she conducted throughout the Second World War with a network of collaborators. The action resulted in saving 12 000 children.
