Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/39xtIar​ Follow leading Hollywood actors as they re-trace the footsteps of their grandparents and learn how World War II changed the lives of their families — and the world. Tune in or stream this four-part series starting Sunday, April 4 at 8/7c. Take a fascinating journey into the past to understand the extraordinary impact of World War II on the families of four British actors. Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown, “Harry Potter” series), Mark Rylance (“Dunkirk,” “Bridge of Spies,” Masterpiece: Wolf Hall), Kristin Scott Thomas (“Darkest Hour,” “The English Patient”) and Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman,” “The Great Gatsby”) each host a one-hour journey into their respective family histories as they travel to historic locations, from the beaches of Dunkirk to the former site of a prisoner-of-war camp in Hong Kong, to retrace their grandparents’ footsteps during the conflict that changed their lives forever.
