Anthony Hopkins and Johnny Flynn play the stockbroker-turned-humanitarian at different times in his life.
If you don’t know the story of Sir Nicholas Winton and the Kindertransport, then One Life is a vital watch.
This moving biographical drama is told across two timelines in the late 1930s and 1980s, with Johnny Flynn and Anthony Hopkins sharing the role of the London stockbroker-turned-humanitarian.
In the months leading up to World War II, Winton visits Prague and discovers refugees living in poor conditions after fleeing the rise of the Nazis in Germany, Austria and northern Czechoslovakia.
He can’t just go back to London and leave them behind, especially with the threat of Nazi invasion looming.
Winton, his mother Babi (Helena Bonham Carter) and the team at the British Commission for Refugees of Czechoslovakia (BCRC) race against time to bring the Jewish children at risk of being murdered from Prague to the U.K.
Winton’s staggering humanitarian feat remained a secret for 50 years until an episode of That’s Life!...
