Sir Anthony Hopkins stars as the elderly Nicholas Winton who as a young man (played by Johnny Flynn) was instrumental in saving many Jewish children in Czechoslovakia from the holocaust. It moves to and fro from the 1980s back to 1939 and whilst it is a bit of a slow starter it does get there in the end. There are decent performances all round and a strong and rewarding final segment. Hopefully it also serves as a reminder of the importance of showing compassion to refugees given the current febrile status of the world. We need a few modern Nicholas Wintons to emerge at this moment in our history.
