The British were trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk.<\/p>\n

The story that unfolds before your eyes is a most dramatic moment in history when hundreds of thousands of English troops are saved from slaughter through shear grit and determination.<\/p>\n

The best of British is seen when small boats respond to Churchills plea for help.<\/p>\n

The British destroyers cannot help because they are torpedoed by U-boats, the RAF spitfires don’t have enough fuel to protect the skies over the channel and Dunkirk and the soldiers are exposed on the sands of the beaches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This dramatic film brings together various timelines that result in heroic efforts of some and tragic loss of others.<\/p>\n

There is no love story here, no beginning, middle or end, just a moment in history during the first years of World War Two.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend this film to you.<\/p>\n
