This interactive event uses feature film clips and films from the BFI National Archive, such as newsreels and government information films, which show wartime life on the Home Front on subjects such as: the Blitz, ‘digging for victory’, rationing, evacuation, Windrush and the impacts of WW2. Pupils will be encouraged to discuss the challenges faced during this time and take part in drama activities around the individual experience of being a wartime evacuee.
