Exodus

Matinee Film: Britain
at Bay
A programme of rarely screened but rightly
celebrated films from the BFI National Archive, vividly capturing the
transition from optimism to high alert as the nation faced up to another
momentous conflict. After the forward looking, progressive, idealism of the
inter-war years, the government had to prepare its citizens for the worst as war
with Germany shifted from distant threat
to grim reality.

The Long March

were killed in Auschwitz but Leon survived and was liberated in

against racism and prejudice.
