My father was one of Winton’s children. He was evacuated by train from Prague at the age of 12 and never saw his parents again; they both perished during the Holocaust. My father went on to have 3 children, 1 grandson and 3 great grandchildren who all owe their lives to Nicholas Winton.
I saw it at the cinema a few months ago and thought Anthony Hopkins was brilliant cast as Nicholas Winton. My teenage granddaughter insisted on coming with us and didn't "get it" so played on her phone most of the way through the film which was really off-putting.
I watched One Life at the cinema when it was first released. I enjoy films based on fact and marvel at the bravery of people like Nicholas Winton who put those children's futures above his own life.
I've just watched the above film starring Anthony Hopkins as Nicholas Winton, the man who help children escape the Nazi's in Prague. What a year jerker. He was amazing and went on to live to 106!!!! At the end of the film they said 6000 people are alive today because of his work. I love this kind of film 😍
