Event information
During World War 2, a band of Polish Soldiers escaping from Siberia, came across an orphaned bear cub and took him under their wing, and together they made a remarkable journey across continents and off to war.
A fascinating story about the connection and friendship between humans and animals, all battling against a backdrop of turbulent uncertainty. Using slides and rare filmed footage, Pete Fijalkowski tells the spell binding true account of Wojtek (pronounced Voy-Tek) who rose to the rank of Corporal; a tale that sounds so incredible, that you would think it was lifted off the pages of a children's book.
This talk is aimed at an adult audience, but would also be suitable for children aged 10+
"A personal, funny and moving talk from a brilliant storyteller and raconteur"
