Directed by James Hawes, this extraordinary film recounts the true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, a British humanitarian who saved 669 children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II. With a star-studded cast featuring the legendary Anthony Hopkins as the elderly Winton and the charismatic Johnny Flynn portraying his younger self, "One Life" delivers powerful performances that resonate deeply with audiences.

It serves as a powerful reminder that one person's courage and compassion can indeed change the world.
