Wow! We watched this movie as a family and absolutely loved it! It brilliantly tells a story about history and is very intriguing to watch to see what happens next. The actors and actresses play their roles so well that it feels like you are right there with them.

I'd have given it a higher rating if the fake British accents weren't so deplorable. There are many relocated Brits in Canada that could have played these parts with believablemaccents.

With some 77 years since the end of WWII; I could not help thinking just how many people's lives are a reflection of this story. Though it's listed as a drama, there are no disclaimers in the end credits to indicate that is is a fiction.

As an example, some 12 million Americans who served during the war, came home, and most buried their involvement. They wanted to forget the carnage, and horrors, and get on with their lives. It has only been in the last 20 years or so, that these veterans finally were able and willing to have their stories told.

That is precisely why this drama is quite believable. Other commenters who nit pick about the accents, or the actors, ought to zip it.

Beckett Williams debut film and he was fabulous. Loved the characters and the history. Seems like it could be a true to life adventure. Would highly recommend to watch with family. An epic adventure film with heartfelt thoughtful characters come to life.

This movie should have been better than it was. Not sure how it managed an 8.1 rating. My father was in the RCAF so it was of personal interest but the accents were so bad and the acting even worse I found it hard to get past that.
