Thanks to Transmission Films, we have tickets to give away to the upcoming WWI drama TESTAMENT OF YOUTH.
The film tells the true story of Vera Brittain, a young woman who puts her promising life on hold to serve as a voluntary aid nurse when war breaks out in England. Experiencing the horrors of battle firsthand, she persists in continuing to support the war’s victims, even as everything she holds dear is taken away from her.
