3:10 British "Schindler" has his story told on the big screen

Boxing day films are usually blockbusters with big special effects and epic stories. One Life, starting Sir Anthony Hopkins, is epic and ordinary at the same time. It tells the story of Sir Nicolas Winton who successfully rescued 669 Jewish children from  Czechoslovakia and certain death in Nazi camps on the eve of World War Two. Nicky, as he was known, wanted to be thought of as an ordinary man who simply did the right thing.  One Life opens on Boxing Day. We'll talk to his grandson,  Laurance Winton, about the man known as the "British Schindler " and the legacy Sir Nicholas Winton leaves behind.
