βΉοΈ Using video, story and music, the Coventry story is a virtual ‘son et lumiΓ¨re’. A journey that takes us from the 1940 Coventry, to a 2020 ‘reunion’ in Buenos Aries. *Some of the film clips are from original 1940 Luftwaffe aerial footage, 1940 Pathe News, and MOD 1982 footage.The fast-moving route is via the downfall of Singapore, HMS Colossus, the destruction of Dresden, a child in Nagasaki, and a cross of nails that was raised from 300-foot below the South Atlantic waves by RN Clearance Divers. [That Cross of Nails recovered in 1982 is now carried by HMS Diamond.] As we transition a story spanning 80 years, we find peace, new hope, and a challenge to our own daily journey.
