Written by Jenny Lecoat and directed by BAFTA-winning Chris Menaul, Another Mother’s Son tells a little-known true story from WWII.
In the Nazi-occupied Jersey of 1942, prisoners of war are put to work in slave labour camps. When Russian soldier Feodor (Julian Kostov) escapes and begs for sanctuary, local woman Louisa Gould (Jenny Seagrove) cannot bear to hand him back. So she joins forces with her sister Ivy (Amanda Abbington), brother Harold (popster Ronan Keating) and the village postmaster Arthur (John Hannah) to harbour the young man, whom she calls Bill. But her defiance places them all in grave danger. Go here for more on the film’s local locations.
