| Brief Description: | Three remarkable documentaries from the British Documentary Movement
are presented in this volume, highlighting the work of Humphrey
Jennings. Listen to Britain (1942) chronicles daily life during the
war. Harry Watt's Target for Tonight (1941) details the precision of a
RAF bombing raid on a German depot. Jennings's masterpiece A Diary for
Timothy (1945), written by E.M. Forster, follows a child's first three
months juxtaposed against the massive reconstruction and rebuilding of
a physically devastated landscape. |
