One Life
Set in the tense months before World War II, One Life follows Nicholas Winton, a young London stockbroker who travels to Prague and finds families desperate to escape the rising Nazi threat. Determined to act, Winton organizes the Kindertransport and helps 669 predominantly Jewish children flee occupied Czechoslovakia to safety in Britain. Directed by James Hawes, the film moves between two timelines. Johnny Flynn plays the young Winton racing against time in 1938 and 1939, while Anthony Hopkins plays him fifty years later, still haunted by the memory of the children he could not save. Helena Bonham Carter, Lena Olin, Romola Garai, Alex Sharp, and Jonathan Pryce round out a remarkable cast in this deeply moving biographical drama. Based on the true story of the man often called the British Schindler, One Life is an unforgettable portrait of quiet heroism, compassion, and the lasting impact of a single act of courage. Watch One Life now on Tesliya and experience one of the most inspiring true stories of the twentieth century.
