Описание: More from our archives: http://film.britishcouncil.org/britis...

The British Council Film Collection is an archive of more than 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.Diverse Britain is captured on film in Island People, depicting the scope and scale of British life and showcasing major cities' involvements in agriculture, industry and commerce. The fourth wall is removed from rural and urban homes as we gain insight into the day-to-day lives of the British family; their varied careers, an unwavering passion for sport and dancing and a love for the occasional, well-deserved drink at a traditional public house.

This film aims to instil within the minds of its viewers that the fundamental values of British society are hard work, sport, family, home and togetherness. It demonstrates how the overwhelming proportion of the British public are pillars of the community working not just for themselves but for others around them, strengthening the idea of a communal British nation.
