About the film

They were divided by war. He united them in song.

What it’s about

In 1916 Yorkshire, Dr Henry Guthrie takes over a choral society after most of its men have volunteered for the army. He recruits teenage boys to fill the ranks. As they discover the power of singing together, the boys themselves edge closer to being called up.

What hooks you

Nicholas Hytner directs a cast led by Ralph Fiennes as Dr Guthrie, with Roger Allam as Alderman Bernard Duxbury and Taylor Uttley as Ellis. The period setting and focus on music offer a distinctive angle on the home front.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys historical dramas set against the First World War, stories about community resilience, and the transformative power of music in difficult times.
