One Life Director on the Astonishing Heroism of Nicholas Winton

One Life tells the deeply emotional and harrowing true story of the Czech Kindertransport at the dawn of World War II. In 1938, Nicholas Winton, an English stockbroker, worked with volunteers at the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia (BCRC) to save the lives of hundreds of Jewish children. Winton organized safe passage through Nazi-occupied Europe and found them safe foster homes in Great Britain. His incredible deeds went unheralded for 50 years until a popular television show recognized Winton for his heroism. The film takes place along two timelines. The legendary Anthony Hopkins stars as Winton in the '80s, with Johnny Flynn portraying him as a younger man during the war.
