Expect an intimate evening of live, multi-media music and film show of Katy Carr’s highly acclaimed, music compositions themed on the era of 1940s as well as some golden oldies, and song hits from the era of the 1940s from both Britain and Poland.

Directed by Hannah Lovell and produced by Katy Carr. Katy Carr’s song about the escape provides the soundtrack for parts of the film.
