Phil Win 79 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 All ways liked this film below, great film. The lad that played Kes, was interviewed on tv the other day much older now and he mentioned that it was all done with none acting folk, real people. Well made, so true to life at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDpe_1WvEWM 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
