Winston Churchill: Walking With Destiny
Jul 29 - Jul 31, 2011
(Richard Trank, 2011, USA, 35mm, 97 min)
Seattle Premiere!
With Special Guests
Narrated by Ben Kingsley, Winston Churchill: Walking With Destiny examines Churchill’s years in the political wilderness, his early opposition to Adolf Hitler and Nazism, his support for Jews under threat by the Nazi regime and his ascension to the Prime Ministership in 1940. Sir Martin Gilbert, historical consultant for the film and Winston Churchill’s official biographer, theorizes that Western Civilization as we know it was saved by Churchill during the period when he, alone among world leaders, stood up to Hitler and Nazism.
