A raft of British acting talent - Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Tom Hollander, Hugh Bonneville, Stephen Mangum, the late Diana Rigg, and Andy Serkis on directing duties - breathe life into an inspiring, and genuinely eye-opening story of survival against the odds. And Serkis and British screenwriter William Nicholson tell it with warmth and wit.
