Cinema: 'Testament of Youth'

Come along on Saturday 31st January at 1:15pm to see the film; 'Testament of Youth'!

About the film
Testament of Youth is a powerful story which tackles love, war, loss and remembrance. It's based on the beloved WW1 memoir by Vera Brittain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Brittain), which was a bestseller on publication, heralded as the voice of a generation and has become the classic testimony of that war, from a woman's point of view.

The film tells the story Vera Brittain, who postponed her studies at Oxford University during WW1 to serve as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse in London, Malta and France. Her story encompasses vast themes - youth, hope, dreams, love, war, futility, and how to make sense of the darkest times. It's a key witness account of WW1, which continues to resonate because it is above all a personal story of how one person faces war and tragedy, and rises above them.

The film stars Alicia Vikander (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alicia_Vikander) as Brittain, Kit Harington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Harington), Emily Watson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Watson) and Miranda Richardson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_Richardson).
