On June 9 1942, a small Czech village of Lidice was wiped off the face of earth in one of the worst atrocities of the Second World War. Deeply affected by the news of the tragedy, Sir Barnett Stross, member of the British Parliament for Stoke-on-Trent, launched the „Lidice Shall Live" movement that saw the local miners and workers collect and raise funds to rebuild Lidice. A documentary film Lidice - a Light across the Sea tells the story of this extraordinary movement.
