As a teenager Rudy Kennedy was a slave labourer for various German companies during the Third Reich. He was lucky to survive, and later became a successful businessman in London.

When he retired he decided there was one thing he wished to do with his life - to secure compensation for fellow victims who had been less fortunate.

Luke Holland's marvellous film recounts three years in the life of Rudy Kennedy's campaign for justice.
