Home Front films

To commemorate the 75th anniversaries of V.E. and V.J. Day, Digital Drama has created 4 short films using little seen WWII archive footage from London’s Screen Archives.

Supported by a grant of £59,900 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Digital Drama trained 35 volunteers across London to deliver reminiscence and recording workshops to gather the memories of 90 older residents in 6 London boroughs of Camden, Ealing, Hounslow, Kingston, Croydon and Merton.

Working with the Heritage and Archive departments of these 6 boroughs, Digital Drama have edited WW2 childhood memories together with the archive footage to create 4 new films themed Digging for Victory, Bombing & the Blitz, Evacuation and VE/VJ Day.
