Review – It Happened Here

This movie should be an illustration in the dictionary for the phrase "labor of love." Filmmaker Kevin Brownlow and historian Andrew Mollo started working on this when they were both just teenagers, and it took nearly a decade to finish. The result was worth the wait. The story of a nurse trying to get by in an alternate-history England conquered by the Nazis is rough around the edges, but that fits the cinema verite shooting style. I like "what if" scenarios like this, and here the concept is used to cast an unflinching look at the atrocities of Nazism. Worth seeing
