Running with Mum

I know nothing about Hollywood films, but lots about films my friends make.
Running with Mum is a film by my friend Martin Greaves about his mum's experience as a little girl in a German town, Dormstadt, that was bombed by the Allies and
turned into a firestorm. It is a beautiful film which shows the distant tenderness between a mother and her grown son, and a sense of living alongside the terrible experiences of the past with a combination of stoicism and forgiveness. It's showing at the Raindance Festival in London on 12th October. Festival details:
