started with a photograph. While researching for his Small Axe anthology, McQueen found a picture of a young Black boy evacuating London with a suitcase.The photo inspired McQueen to make Blitz, a deeply personal film set in World War II London. Blitz examines how war unites a community through the eyes of a boy. McQueen wondered if witnessing a brutal argument between parents is terrible for a child, and how much worse it could be for that same child to experience wartime.
“It’s the worst thing in the world that can ever happen to a child,” McQueen said. “So imagine a small child in war? It becomes three times as amplified.”“Blitz follows the epic journey of George , a 9-year-old boy in World War II London whose mother Rita sends him to safety in the English countryside,” the official synopsis reads.
Blitz is written and directed by McQueen. Producers include McQueen, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Anita Overland, and Adam Somner. Blitz is a Lammas Park, Working Title, and New Regency production for Apple Studios.Dan Girolamo is a multifaceted content creator with nearly a decade of experience in pop culture, sports, and entertainment.
