One Life

Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn, Helena Bonham Carter, . Directed by James Hawes

Sir Nicholas Nicky Winton, a young London realtor, saved 669 children from the Nazis in the months before World War II. In December 1938, Nicky visited Prague and met families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria. They lived in desperate conditions, had little shelter or food and were threatened by a Nazi invasion. Nicky immediately realized that it was a race against time. How many children were he and his team able to save before the borders were closed? 50 years later, in 1988, Nicky was plagued by the fate of the children he had failed to bring to safety, and he repeatedly blamed himself for not doing more. But when he appeared on the BBC television show That´s Life! When he meets some of the surviving children, now adults, he begins to confront his guilt and long-standing grief.
