“If something is not impossible, there must be a way to do it.”  —Nicholas “Nicky” Winton

One Life tells the incredible true story of Nicholas Winton, a young London broker who helped rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia in a race against time before the Nazis closed the borders just prior to the beginning of WWII. Fifty years later, 79-year-old Nicky, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, is haunted by the fate of those he was unable to save.

Helena Bonham Carter plays a supporting role in this docudrama based on the 2014 book One Life: The True Story of Sir Nicholas Winton, written by Winton’s daughter and published to coincide with Winton’s 105 birthday.
