Retiree Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton (Hopkins) lives with the haunting feeling that he’s not made a great difference in the world. Long-forgotten documents elicit powerful memories that transport us back to the eve of the Second World War, when young Winton (Johnny Flynn) is galvanised into action by the devastation facing civilians ahead of the Nazi invasion of Prague.

With the help of his firebrand mother (Helena Bonham Carter) and the generosity of the British public, Winton and a tight-knit band of volunteers embark on an ambitious Kindertransport project, saving 669 children from a horrific fate.

James Hawes’ assured feature debut about a great British humanitarian is a deservedly sweeping drama. Nuanced in its recollection of events and in conveying their impact, One Life serves to remind contemporary audiences of the power of individual acts in defence of human rights, even when all seems lost.

Baby Pictures 

Baby Pictures is open to carers and little ones of twelve months and under. As everyone in the cinema is a parent or carer, there’s no need to worry if it gets a little noisy. Everyone understands. Customers not accompanying a baby will be turned away.

The lights are turned up a little bit and the sound is a little softer to create a peaceful environment for you and the baby. It’s just for carers (Mum, Dad, Granny, Granda, whoever it is it looking after the tot) and babies. Up to two adults can come with a baby. Please note: we cannot allow babies over the age of 12 months to come to Baby Pictures.  

If you have any questions about Baby Pictures, please get in touch on qftmanager@qub.ac.uk.

Baby Pictures is supported by Film Hub NI.
