A documentary on how the spirit of unity, which buoyed Britain during the war years, carried through to create a vision of a fairer, united society. “Generosity, mutual support and cooperation were the watchwords of the age,” says Ken Loach. “It is time to remember the determination of those who were intent on building a better world.” To that end he trawled local and national film archives for rarely seen footage of the newly nationalised industries and the infant National Health Service, melding it with interviews and sound recordings to create this unique picture of a period of huge social and political change.
