“If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it…” Sir Nicholas Winton, 1909-2015

One Life tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, along with the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia, rescued 669 children from the Nazis in the months leading to World War II. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the Nazis living in desperate conditions and under the threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed? Fifty years later, Nicky lives haunted by his past. 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.
