Surly don't miss : THE POWER OF GOOD - SIR NICHOLAS WINTON. I've watched it yesterday again. That's breathtaking story of a man who rescued 669 Czechoslovak children to Britain in 1939. After this he did different things and this was redicovered almost 50 years after. Such an inspiring!
FOR TODAY ONLY!! I have just watched Power of Good about Nicholas Winton and unless you've got something really urgent you need to do today, I recommend that you watch it too. This film, and the other documentaries, are only available until the end of the day. As Yvan says, it is a very moving account of Sir Nicholas's rescue of nearly 700 Czechoslovak children in 1939, with amazing contempory footage and interviews with some of those he saved, including Lord Dubs, formerly UK Labour minister Alf Dubs, who I had no idea was Czech, never mind one of Winton's Children. Highly recommended.
