Produced independently in Hollywood by displaced Europeans at the height of WWII, Voice in the Wind follows the fate of a persecuted Czech concert pianist (Lederer) trapped on a fictional Caribbean island. Heavily influenced by German expressionist lighting techniques, Voice in the Wind thematizes the plights of refugees both then and today: the dispossession of homeland, the separation of families, the loss of nationality and identity.
