RECOMMENDATION:
DESCRIPTION:
A biographical drama based on the true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, a British lawyer who saved hundreds of Jewish children during World War II. As a young man (Johnny Flynn), in 1938, seeing the growing threat to Jewish families in Czechoslovakia, Nicholas undertakes a risky mission to organize the transport of children to Great Britain. Years later, the older Winton (Anthony Hopkins) struggles with his sense of guilt and memories, keeping his past achievements hidden.
