    buy it

    though beyond my time its a lovely set. it documents a history of the british documentary movement it clearly records our changed society and is very educational. Slum clearence being a perfect examlpe. The price alone is a bargain. The book enclosed is wworth the money alone. i find it hard to realise it was only 40 years ago. most of the production team invloved in each film had evolved into many famous filmmakers from british transport films to michael jacksons thriller dvd single. It can be tearjerking yet amazingly accurate and was a first to allow people being filmed to be able to be candid. Buy it you will be hooked on it plus if you have children they would realise that children were happier without their laptops,mobile phones,Barbie, the list is endless. last point the children ...

    Land of Promise - The British Documentary Movement

    This is a fantastic DVD set which I purchased after watching the BFI British Transport Films set. Both show realism film of Britain in the early 20th Century. The films are between 9 and 25 minutes in lenght covering the period 1930-1950. Originally created by industry for propaganda/training purposes these films, although sometimes using staged/wooden actors, members of the public, allow a fascinating insight into how our ancestors lived.
