Description
October 10: One Life “Compelling, inspiring and intimate" Sir Anthony Hopkins stars as Sir Nicholas Winton, a British stockbroker who helped rescue numerous children, mostly Czechoslovak Jews from the Nazis on the verge of the Second World War. Set in Prague, the station Praha Bupny where the Kindertransport trains departed from has recently been transformed into a memorial and the path for pedestrians and cyclists running beneath the tracks is now known as Nicholas Winton Street in his honour.
Hopkins gives his usual stellar performance as Sir Nicholas Winton who was knighted in 2003 and died in 2015 at the age of 106. Despite preventing hundreds of children from death in a concentration camp he was forever haunted by the fate of those he wasn't able to save.
