Nicky's Family On Tuesday evening, April 9, at 7:30 p.m., the second film in the festival, Nicky’s Family, will be screened at The Garde. This is a documentary about Nicholas Winton, an Englishman who organized the rescue of 669 Czech and Slovak children just before the outbreak of World War II. Winton, now 102 years old, did not speak about these events with anyone for more than half a century. Winton is an immensely compelling symbol of how the caring of one man can truly make a difference.
