EP2 World War Two on Film Sep 01, 2021

This is WWIl in a way that's hardly been seen, through the film cameras of some home movie enthusiasts who filmed their friends, family and neighbours as they struggled with a war that was fought on the home front as well as the battle fronts.

As Britain recovered from war and the economy began to flourish, home movie makers captured a country that was changing.

Reviews

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
