Holocaust Memorial Day: Nicky's Family
Dir: Matej Minac 2011 | 96 mins
The remarkable true story of Maidenhead resident Sir Nicholas Winton, who rescued over 600 Jewish Czech and Slovak children at the outbreak of World War II.
Sir Nicholas did not speak about these events for more than half a century. His exploits would have probably been forgotten if his wife, fifty years later, hadn't found a suitcase in the attic, full of documents and transport plans. Today the story of this rescue is known all over the world.
The screening marks Holocaust Memorial Day – the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
It will be followed by a presentation hosted by Nick Winton, son of 'Nicky'.

Macbeth: David Tennant and Cush Jumbo
Filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen.
David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
