“Complicit” blends drama, survivor interviews, and actual footage to tell the story of the doomed MS St. Louis ship, which left Germany in an attempt to escape Nazi persecution and gain entry into the United States through Cuba. After weeks at sea pleading with the U.S., Canadian, and Cuban governments, the MS. St. Louis had no choice but to return to Europe, where it is estimated that over one quarter of her passengers perished in German concentration camps.
