Telegraph: Reports that a new film is being produced based on the memoirs of Vera Brittain. The film is being made by BBC Films.
Lets Get Real:
It's about time folks, Testament of Youth about the life of Vera Brittain before, during and after World War One is one of the most moving things this blog has even seen on big or small screen. A TV version was filmed in 1979, the articles states the following on the production, " ..The series has retained its place as one of the outstanding achievements in television drama of the golden age of British public service broadcasting. ". While readers of this blog might be surprised as the theme of the TV series and book is anti War, yes this blog still wants to bomb Iran, and Yes still supports the Iraq War, that does not mean one can not want to understand what Vera Britten went through during those deadly years, losing loved ones, the pain of memory. While this book supports diplomacy it does not support appeasement, and Iran is being appeased, so is North Korea, on the other hand before one supports a military action one should think about the results, Testament of Youth, the 79 series is a good place to start folks.
