Are paranormal experiences real? Can being 'spiritual' help with the way you feel about death, dying and grief? This British film, from the university that pioneered distance learning through BBC Television, explores themes of spiritual healing and the differing views on life after death.
Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which has become the classic testimony of that war from a woman’s point of view. A searing journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it’s a film about young love, the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.
