Inspiring film One Life at the Market Theatre

Starring Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Flynn and Helena Bonham Carter and directed by James Hawes this film is presented as part of Flicks in the Sticks programme.

With the help of his mother and a group of volunteers, London-born to Jewish parents Nicholas Winton transports 669 children to safety in England ahead of the Nazi invasion of Prague - a scheme that was to become known as Kindertransport.

Sir Nicholas George Winton MBE (né Wertheim; 19 May 1909 – 1 July 2015) was a British stockbroker and humanitarian who helped to rescue Jewish children who were at risk of being murdered by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

Born to German-Jewish parents who had immigrated to Britain at the beginning of the 20th century, Winton assisted in the rescue of 669 children, most of them Jewish, from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II.

On a brief visit to Czechoslovakia, he helped compile a list of children needing rescue and, returning to Britain, he worked to fulfill the legal requirements of bringing the children to Britain and finding homes and sponsors for them.

This operation was later known as the Czech Kindertransport (German for 'children's transport').

Many years later, Winton is still haunted by the fate of those that he was unable to save, but a TV programme reuniting him with some of those children, now adults, enables him to start making sense of his past.
