If people didn’t think the Soviet Union was cruel at the murder of the Tsar’s family by the Bolsheviks in 1918, then 32 years later, the treatment of these innocent babies should convince anyone that this regime was pure evil. Thank goodness it’s gone!!
A beautifully produced and very moving film and story. Many comments here highlight the neglect of British composers and listening to Lloyd's work, it evidently deserves to be heard more often in the concert halls. Well done for making such a watchable, worthwhile work, beautifully paced and full of thought-provoking incidents and inspiring revelations. Lloyd and his wife certainly had an amazing journey together.
Excellent! An informative film that gives a remarkably succinct and balanced-sounding account of the many changes in this country's fortunes and their consequences for the people. It is colourful, wide-ranging and sympathetic, and I like the non-judgmental narrative and calm voice-over.

1951....at age 11 I was making these tank nets at 16 Parc Avenue. Straightforward really; you screwed a hook into the corner of the kitchen wall, hung the cord around it, grabbed the wooden bobbin and started weaving...it was repetitive and took hours to make. I got paid 10/-, 50p. which my mother snatched!...Ten shillings in 1951 was worth about £15 today.
the whole film is now on you tube Severn and Somme The Life of Ivor Gurney. the film was premiered in Bristol Cathedral January 2012. gurney's cousin attended the screening.
From the Odes, Epigrams, & Further Sonnets, by Richard Craven XL St Philip’s Marsh is Bristol’s Isle of Dogs, the draught too shallow though for proper ships, and more importantly it’s tidal. Fog’s a regular phenomenon. Mudslips banked-up, Dickensian, the Avon’s slime. Warehouses scatter among redbrick homes where entropy increases over time. Front garden with a pond and fishing gnomes, the fussiness which somehow reconciles with all the dereliction and the rust, the empty cider cans and clogging piles of matter: cloth, carcinogen, oil, dust. The lorries thunder past, on Feeder Road, naked berserkers covered in blue woad.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. George Lloyd is one of my favourite composer's for brass band. I'll now have to get into his symphonic and operatic world of music too... 😊
I realize that this film is a few years old, but I'm watching it today in the UK, during the current Covid-19 Lockdown. I enjoyed the film very much and found it interested me to want to know more about Cuba. The only thing I could not understand was why the film started with, The Beach Boys music rather than the beautiful Cuban street music which even the film remarks attracts visitors to Cuba. Apart from that loved the film very much.
09:15 3 years in the Cuban army vs 2 yrs in Angola ... and many ppl chose Africa instead? What does one have to do with the other? What are they doing in Angola ... and what does that have to do with their missing legs?
These are the veterans who fought in the Angolan Civil War (11th November 1975 - 4th April 2002) between the Marxist MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola) and the anti-communist UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). Cuba gave both financial and military assistance to the MPLA right from beginning of the Angolan Civil War in 1975 up till 1991 when Cuba went bankrupt and could no longer afford to finance foreign wars.
The only burger restaurant I really loved to eat from Unfortunately there is no more wimpy restaurants at all its very frustrated& sad to not see it like the old days I really miss it so badly😭
