based on the book Travel by Dark by GRAEME WARRACK
Graeme Warrack was Divisional Chief Doctor of the 1st Airborne Division at the Battle of Arnhem. With other doctors, medical personnel and padres, he stayed behind with the wounded. The first improvised hospital was a German-occupied Dutch military barracks at Apeldoorn. From here the wounded were transported to prisoner of war camps in Germany. As the last of the wounded left, Colonel Warrack escaped.

A fortnightly look at the big screen at home and abroad: news, views and interviews presented by Gavin Millar
This week the 20th London Film Festival opens. Of the 40-odd feature-length films to be shown, only two are British, and if past years are anything to go by, only a minute proportion of the total will be shown even in London, let alone on general distribution. What is wrong with our film industry? Why, with all our technical resources and professional skills, can we make so few good films ourselves? And why will the world's best work not reach our cinemas?
