Anthony McCarten - A Hora Mais Negra

From the author of *The Theory of Everything*, this is an account of the anguish Britain experienced in 1940, from the 10th, when Hitler's troops began their invasion of the Netherlands, until the 29th, when the soldiers defeated by the Germans embarked at Dunkirk to take refuge in England. This story is often told in an epic tone, but this time the narrative focuses on the figure of Winston Churchill, in the fragile and unique context of those uncertain days, reconstructed based on extensive documentation, including government discussions, inside and outside parliament, and the testimonies of his contemporaries. Anthony McCarten shows us Churchill's doubt – he admitted to negotiating with Hitler, accepting the victory that placed all of Europe in his hands – and reveals the evolution that led the British Prime Minister to express, on June 4th, the final decision not to surrender, in a speech that would change the course of history.
