It is a drama-documentary that addresses the crucial influence of pacifism on the composer's life and work.

Tony Britten's moving and thought-provoking film seamlessly blends dramatic scenes at Gresham's School with unique contributions from historians, friends and contemporaries and specially filmed musical performances from celebrated artists including James Gilchrist, Iain Burnside, Raphael Wallfisch and the exciting new Benyounes String Quartet.

Narrated by legendary actor John Hurt, who also appears on screen, this is described by Britten experts and film enthusiasts as a work of major significance. This is a moving and engrossing film, with terrific performances and tender appreciation of Britten's music.
