BBC North America Worldwide is offering 4 feature films free of charge this summer to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the end of World War ll. This is a follow up to last year’s series commemorating the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1. These films cover a variety of topics and star many well-known British actors. They are made for TV productions that have not been shown in the US, and are new except for one star studded film that played over a dozen years ago on PBS.
If you like history, especially WW2 history, then make plans to be at one or all!
Featuring a stunning lead performance by Eddie Izzard (The Avengers, Valkyrie), Castles In The Sky recounts the powerhouse human drama behind Scotsman Robert Watson-Watt’s history-altering invention of radar technology. On the brink of war, Watson-Watt’s invention changed the playing field and advanced the British’s chances against the rising Nazi party. Izzard’s riveting portrayal captures the free-thinking rule-breaker’s struggles and ultimate triumph.
