Into the Storm

For five years, Prime Minister Winston Churchill guided his beleaguered nation through the crucible of WWII, playing perhaps the single most important role in thwarting the Nazis. As he stood fearlessly in the spotlight of the worlds stage, his intrepid leadership and rhetoric inspired millions of Britons and other members of the free world to fight Hitlers Germany to the bitter end. So why did the country he held so dear turn its back on him after the Allied victory? Continuing the story of Churchill told in the HBO film, the Gathering Storm, the Emmy award-winning Into the Storm offers an intimate look at the making of a nations hero, when Churchill was at his most commanding and effective. The film shows how his prowess as a great wartime leader ultimately undermined his political career and threatened his marriage to wife and lifelong supporter, Clementine. Starring Emmy winner Brendan Gleeson as Winston Churchill and Emmy nominee Janet McTeer (Golden Globe winner for Tumbleweeds).
