The movie was produced and directed by Barbara Attie and Martha Goell Lubell, and narrated by Janeane Garofalo. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport Liebe Perla is a 53-minute documentary that documents Nazi Germany's brutality towards disabled people through the exploration of a friendship between two women with dwarfism: Hannelore Witkofski of Germany and Perla Ovitz, who at the time of filming was living in Israel.
