The WASPS: Taking Flight

Nadine Ramsey was one of 1,102 young women who answered the call to defend lives and liberty during WWII. The film is a profile in courage of the women who selflessly cleared the flight path for today's female combat and commercial aviators yet were not recognized or compensated as members of the armed forces. They came from all walks of life to join the experimental WASP program, a once in a lifetime opportunity to enter what had been an exclusively male bastion.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
