Winston Churchill is most famous internationally as the Prime Minister who saw Great Britain through the Second World War, but his illustrious life growing up as a brash, ambitious young man is less widely known.
Churchill was a man who knew his stars intended for him to do great things in the world. While Church believed this, he knew that others would take some convincing. In his 20s he participated in numerous colonial conflicts and wrote a number of books detailing his experiences.
But still the fame he chased eluded him until he traveled to South Africa in 1899 to cover the Anglo-Boer War (South African War) as a journalist.
In this short history documentary, I tell the tale of Winston Churchill's daring escape from a Boer prisoner of war (POW) camp in Pretoria, South Africa in the year 1899.
