1960s Britain -Were We Better Off? Look at Life PART 1

BBC Britain on Film - Series 2 Episode 10 Sixties - Look at Life PART 1
Fabulous UK series from The Rank Organisation examining all aspects of life in Britain... Were we better off? 🤨

In 1959 Britain's biggest cinema company, the Rank Organisation, decided to replace its newsreels with a series of short, quirky, topical documentaries that examined all aspects of life in Britain. For the next ten years, Look at Life chronicled - on high-grade 35mm colour film - the changing face of British society, industry and culture. Britain on Film draws upon the 500 films in this unique archive to offer illuminating and often surprising insights into what became a pivotal decade in modern British history. The series shows how Look at Life reflected the radical shifts in the position of women in British society, and shows how the country adapted to the new demands and expectations of women at home, in the workplace and at play.
