After being awarded a scholarship to Oxford University, Vera finds herself deeply in love with her brother’s dashing friend Roland, who shares her intellect and passion. However, her life is shattered at the outset of war when her brother and Roland ship out to the front lines. Abandoning her academic career to become a volunteer nurse, Vera ends up experiencing many of the horrors of war first hand. Based on the treasured memoirs of Vera Brittain, this timely adaptation is a moving and delicate realisation of the emotional impact of the First World War.

The screening on Mon 12 Jan (18.15) will be followed by a live satellite Q&A with director James Kent and producer Rosie Alison, along with select cast members and Vera Brittain’s daughter, Baroness Shirley Williams, broadcast from BFI Southbank.
