Continuing the BFI’s work of Unlocking Film Heritage in Britain, this fascinating DVD collection brings together a selection of public information films, propaganda shorts and adverts from the BFI National Archive. The films offer advice and tips on how to support the war effort from home.

These films were crucial to the British war effort and the campaign messaging has been much reproduced in modern advertising to this day.
