Benjamin Britten - Peace and Conflict

Benjamin Britten - Peace and Conflict is a feature-length drama documentary, written, directed and produced by British composer Tony Britten. The star-studded 2013 production explores how Britten’s pacifist beliefs developed from a young man’s curiosity about communism and its links with pacifism, to a gradual realisation that politicising the peace movement, at the time a reaction to the fascist threat, was for him, not the answer. This manifestation of beliefs led the Suffolk-born artist to the adoption of what might be called a “pure” pacifism, informing various of his compositions from the mid-1940s onwards, culminating in the famous War Requiem. Starring as young Benjamin Britten himself is Alex Lawther, known for his roles in several Netflix original productions.
