The experimental stop motion story of a London boy in World War 2, we witness war drawing inexorably closer as he comes of age. 14 when war begins, our young hero lives through bombings, the evacuation of his siblings, the privations of wartime. Yet he survives and even thrives. He sets out to search for his friend in the East End during those turbulent and frightening times, and with his own voice tells his story with a wit and verve few would believe today. Finally we leave him at the brink on D-Day, a hero already in the making.

Very Cool!!!
Memorable, crazy movie
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
