The end of an empire. The birth of two nations.
Seventy years ago, at midnight on 14 August 1947, the Union Jack began its final journey down the flagstaff of Viceroy’s House, New Delhi. A fifth of humanity claimed their independence from the greatest empire history has ever seen – but the price of freedom was high, as a nation erupted into riots and bloodshed, partition and war.
This acclaimed account of the dying days of the British Raj and the drama played out between Lord and Lady Mountbatten, Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah, inspired the major film starring Hugh Bonneville, Gillian Anderson, Manish Dayal and Huma Qureshi and directed by Gurinder Chadha.
