Between September 1940 and May 1941, London will bend, but not give in, under an incessant rain of German bombs. This vast campaign of destruction of the English capital led by the Luftwaffe was named Blitz“lightning”, a term which is today the title of the sixth feature-length fiction film by British visual artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen (Hunger, Shame, Twelve Years a Slave, The Widows), put online exclusively at the end of November by Apple TV+. Some 1.25 million people were evacuated from London during this period, half of them children, an introductory note tells us. It is the story of one of these children that McQueen will then tell us. His story is fictional, but as part of his research he worked with several historians in order to stay as close as possible to what London was like at that time.
