| War Stories is a documentary in which seven women speak about their lives and loves during the Second World War. | |||
|
One
at time, seven elderly women face the camera and speak about the impact
on their lives of World War II. There are newsreel clips and vivid
contributions from storytellers’ photo albums, but what renders
these War Stories enthralling is more fundamental allure of revelation
stacked upon revelation. Tales that lead us with such plain assurance
to the storyteller’s heartfelt truth make spellbound children
of us all.
