In a new Guardian piece, BLITZ, the upcoming movie from Oscar-winning British film director, Sir Steve McQueen, is profiled. The film, starring Saoirse Ronan (THE OUTRUN), examines terrors that London underwent during the second world war. McQueen said, “BLITZ is a movie about Lon­doners. It honours the spirit of what and how Londoners endured during the blitz, but also explores the true representation of people in London. At its core is the story of a working-class family desperate to be reunited.”
