DIRECTED by Danny Hardaker, this well-made 10-minute documentary is very much a taster for what could be a much longer film.
Tvins tells the story of the two German-Jewish brothers who arrived in Bradford in 1938 as Fritz and Hans, returned from Canada as Fred and John and then settled into Bradford life, married and raised children.
At the time of their flight to safety, Europe was in chaos and in Germany the Nazis were in power. The brothers, from a privileged background, were sent by their father to Bradford to escape the fascist threat in their home country and their story is told through the eyes of their two children, Nick and Paula, and family photo albums.
