Benjamin Britten: Peace and Conflict

A film by Tony Britten

'Britten's life-long pacifism is central to much of his work including the War Requiem, yet has rather been taken for granted by biographers… Tony Britten (no relation), writer, producer and director of this thought-provoking film, now suggests an entirely new but persuasive theory: that Britten's pacifism and left-wing politics were forged during his two years boarding at Gresham School.' Daniel Jaffé
