Our film for April, ONE LIFE (2023: 12A: 109 mins ) tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued over 650 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed?
 
Fifty years on, Nicky is still haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England, blaming himself for not doing more. Only when a live BBC television show, ‘That’s Life’, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children, now adults, he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he has carried for decades.

Directed by James Hawes, the film stars Sir Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Flynn
Lena Olin, Jonathan Pryce, Romola Garai, Marthe Keller and Alex Sharp.

“The film does justice to this overwhelmingly moving event in British public life in a quietly affecting drama.”  Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“[A] handsome and soberly stirring period piece..”. Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph
