Into the Storm — United Kingdom
The 2009 HBO/BBC film — a sequel to The Gathering Storm — follows Winston Churchill through the war years, from Dunkirk to D-Day to his unexpected election defeat in July 1945.
Churchill's wartime leadership is inseparable from London — the bunker beneath Whitehall (now Churchill War Rooms), the Commons, Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. His July 1945 election defeat, announced while he was at the Potsdam Conference, shocked him and the world: the British public voted for Attlee's social reform programme despite Churchill's wartime greatness.
