1: HOW we fight

In this first episode, hear how Britain fought.

How did members of the public, men and women of all classes and backgrounds, become the stars of a new golden age of British cinema?

Film bridged class divides and highlighted gender equality, while British humour became a weapon which instilled defiance in the population.

In the ‘People’s War’, it was cinema that brought the British people together.

Films include: Millions Like Us (1943); One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942); The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943); The Way Ahead (1944); The Gentle Sex (1943); In Which We Serve (1942); Went the Day Well? (1942); The Demi-Paradise (1943) etc.
