A feature film as part of Britten's centenary celebrations. Directed by Tony Britten, a drama documentary which explores the way in which Britten amp;rsquo;s pacifist beliefs developed from a young man amp;rsquo;s curiosity about communism and its links with pacifism, to a gradual realisation that politicising the peace movement, at the time a reaction to the fascist threat, was for him, not the answer.
