Through Lotte's Lens tells the extraordinary story of the 'Hitler Émigrés', the refugees – mainly Jewish who escaped the Nazi regime in the 1930s and found refuge in the UK. Despite many of them being interned on the Isle of Man after war broke out, they brought a richness of endeavour and achievement to this country that still applies today. Musicians, actors, artists, architects, scientists, historians shared a belief in the power of democracy and a loyalty to the country that had welcomed them. Told through the portal of Austrian émigré portrait photographer Lotte Meitner-Graf, with commentators such as Labour Peer Lord Alf Dubs, renowned architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, historian and author Daniel Snowman (whose book, 'The Hitler Emigres' served as inspiration for the film) and many more. We also feature unique musical performances from the Piatti Quartet and Ensemble Émigré, bringing depth, variety and more than a dash of humour to the storytelling.
