About this Event

Join us at Newton Abbot Library for a special screening of 'One Life. Tickets are just £3 each plus a small booking fee so make sure you get your ticket while you can!

ONE LIFE tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker played by Johnny Flynn, who, along with Trevor Chadwick and Doreen Warinner of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia, rescued 669 children from the Nazis in the months leading up to  World War II.

Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed?

Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky (played by Anthony Hopkins) lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It’s not until a live BBC television show, ‘That’s Life!’, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades. 


Film screening takes place in Newton Abbot Library and starts at 6:15pm. Please arrive 15 minutes before the film starts. For maximum comfort, you may like to bring your own cushion for our chairs. The total runtime of the film is 110 Minutes.
