Passionate about people's stories

"It was the vividness of the personal reminiscences that carried the film's emotional punch."

"An illuminating, heart-breaking film."

"From Testimony Films and Steve Humphries, a remarkable, little-known slice of history unfolds, admirably researched and beautifully structured."

"Here, some of those who survived tell their stories, often for the first time, and the pain, grief and sheer horror are still evident. Deeply moving."

"It's an affecting film about loss and bravery, about people who were only doing their job, but one that put them in mortal danger."

“Harrowing but deeply moving.”

“It feels like eavesdropping on history itself. We are left hungry for hours more of this recollection and experience."

“Some of the most affecting television I have seen for a long time.”

“The researchers deserve praise for unearthing such rich seams in the folk who recount their experiences so vividly.”

“This new series might be the channel’s finest six hours.”
