Twice as long as Nolan's "Dunkirk", with a much larger cast of characters, all based on the true stories of real people. Concentration on character and a canny use of real footage more that makes up for a lower budget. John Keegan approved: "The BBC's drama-documentary on Dunkirk, the first episode of which was shown last night, got mixed previews. Unfairly. Having watched all the episodes on video, I am struck by how fair a picture of that extraordinary episode it conveys, how accurate the history is, and how well judged is the script as drama."

I am an avid student of WW II and, specifically, of Britain's involvement in the conflict. I applaud the all who produced "Dunkirk". This film does not sacrifice historical accuracy for "movie glitz". At least for me, in viewing this movie I felt like I was, literally, in the midst of one of the "great events" of WW II. I could not more highly recommend this movie to all students of WW II. Sincerely, James (Jim) Orr

Low budget but still well done. Disappointing, one view only. A small scale dramatic documentary.

Showed all the heroics and the frailities of men in battle. Showed the stanch determination of a people determined to go to any lengths to save their countrymen.
