An excellent documentary, similar to the types of WWII films shown on the History Channel . . . but much better. It describes the momentous events leading up to WWII in Europe, and Churchill's place in that history. This film should be a must see for all high school students.
The movie includes excerpts from his famous speeches, (that are still emotional stirring to me) . . . 70 years after they were spoken.
Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Blitz — the saving of Western civilization, Roosevelt's winning of the 1940 election . . . how lucky we were to be on the winning side of that conflagration.
Some critics complained that the movie did not show the other side of Churchill, which included support of British imperial ambitions and his lack of action to protect the Jews of Europe. My view is that those subjects could be the theme of another film.
