According to the movie’s screenwriter Janice Perez, ”Quezon’s Game” was produced to shed light and honor the heroic feat of late President Manuel L. Quezon — when he fought for the country to open its doors to Jewish refugees at a time when everybody deliberately closed theirs.

True enough, the film highlights a chapter of Philippine history that most textbooks ‘do not even mention’ or tend to overlook. Marking this unsung act in 1930s, Matthew Rosen’s masterpiece puts a spotlight on how Philippines showed defiancy to the rest of the world.
