A Reluctant Monarch Who Led His Country Through WW2

Through stills, archival footage, and interviews - This 60-minute historical bio-documentary looks at the life and times of King George VI (1895-1952).

Even though George was, at first, reluctant to take on the unexpected role of being Britain's king, he not only clearly showed personal courage by restoring his citizens' confidence in its then unpopular monarchy - But, he also successfully led one and all through the hell of WW2.

If you are at all interested in the history of the British Royals during the 20th century, then, this well-presented production is certainly worth a view.
