Synopsis

From the Upper Canada Rebellion to a Spitfire cockpit over Nazi Europe — how history kept interrupting the peace.

Flying Officer Robert James Buckles escaped a German POW camp in the last days of World War II, desperate to reach Allied lines. He had already become the Spitfire pilot he’d risked everything to be. Now he wanted nothing more than to make it home.

Drawing on Buck's letters, logbooks, and POW records, his son Daniel traces how war repeatedly interrupted the peace of an ordinary Canadian family, and what each generation carried home. His uncles fought in the First World War. One was wounded at the Somme, and another, Buck's namesake, died at Vimy Ridge. Before them came English, Scottish and Irish immigrants, some of whom witnessed the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 at its epicentre on the outskirts of Toronto.

Their choices reflect the choices every individual, every family, every nation must still confront: how to defend a peace that history never stops threatening.

A gripping true story of courage, escape, and the quiet cost of service.
