    The greatest British war films ever made?

    British war films at their best have an understated, almost documentary style; the Cruel Sea, Ice Cold in Alex, the Battle of Britain or A Bridge Too Far, for example. Fires Were Started and The Silent Village may be the wellspring of this style - apparent documentaries that were in fact scripted and acted. Jennings’ brilliance lies in the way he blurs any boundaries between fact and fiction, years before this style became popular. And importantly, he works not just with actors, but largely with ordinary people who he has encouraged to be invested in the project - and it shows! Beautifully filmed, a timeless record of ordinary Britons fighting evil in their own modest way.

    Excellent documentary

    All the films made during Humphry Jennings too short life are well worth watching, Fires Were Started is one of his best.

    The London Fire Brgade during the Blitz

    This video is about the Auxiliary Fire Service in London during WW II and the Blitz during one nights raid in the City. Story line and Character development are good.
