Synopsis

Sitting undiscovered for 70 years in barrels inside an empty shop in Blackburn, 800 rolls of film from Edwardian film company Mitchell & Kenyon were unearthed and then restored by the BFI. Using this lost footage, a three-part documentary series was made by the BBC - and the results are nothing less than fascinating. The British working class from over 100 years ago are shown at everything from factories and football matches to fairgrounds in these rare clips. This is not just a fascinating glimpse into the history of Britain's people, but also into the history of filmmaking.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
