A special archive film show from Ray Johnson about Vera Brittain, who is best known for her World War I memoir, Testament of Youth. She was also a poet, war nurse, novelist and founder member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Brittain was born in Newcastle and returned to visit at the outbreak of War:“I sat in a tree-shadowed walk called the Brampton and meditated on the War. It was one of those shimmering autumn days when every leaf and flower seemed to scintillate with light, and I found it very hard to believe that not far away men were being slain ruthlessly.”
This film documents her life.
