This International Indiefest Award-winning film, which tells the story of the Battle for Hill 112 and the determination of Canterbury’s own Albert Figg to remember his former colleagues, is being screened at the Duke of York’s Military School, Dover on Friday 17 January.
Kent film-maker Peter Williams has now completed his epic, full-length feature documentary telling the tale of one of the bloodiest battles of the second world war.
A Canterbury Tale; Albert Figg and The Battle for Hill 112 was premiered as part of the 2022 Canterbury Festival at a well-attended event in the Great Hall at Kent College, supported by The Lord Mayor of Canterbury, Cllr Pat Todd.
The film’s launch marked a significant milestone for the Hill 112 Memorial Foundation, which has spent several years commissioning and funding this remarkable work, as well as the culmination of what was very much a ‘labour of love’ for the film-maker.
Albert Figg himself asked Peter to make the film, which was based around filmed interviews with some of the men who took part in the battle.
The showing starts at 7pm, with all profits going towards the Hill 112 Memorial Foundation.
Admission is by donation £10 Adults £2 Students.
