“One Life” is the true story of Nicholas Winton, a British stockbroker and humanitarian who, in 1939, helped to arrange the escape of 669 children from Czechoslovakia. The film weaves together two periods in Winton’s life, 50 years apart.
Where: Bytowne Cinema, Ottawa
When: May 7, 6:30 pm
We draw attention to the screening of the film because Claire Speed, the daughter of one of the rescued children, together with Richard Heller, the son of another descendant of the child transport, will personally participate in a discussion with the audience after the screening of the film.
The film One Life directed by James Hawes was shot in 2023 and is based on the book of the same title, written by Nicholas Winton's daughter Barbara Winton. The lead role of the young Sir Winton is played by Johnny Flynn, and the older one by Oscar-winning Antony Hopkins.
