A documentary film by Robert Vas. If you are 25 years old on 2 June 1978 you were born on Coronation Day-one of 2,000 babies. The mayor will have marked the day when you came into a world of relative stability with a mug or a spoon. Some would call you special. As post-war reconstruction was well under way you will have tasted some of the good things-like a full stomach, an education, assured employment and the freedom to express yourself. These factors will have shaped your view of life, your feelings, your thinking.
This documentary impression looks at the lives of more than a dozen Coronation babies, from their earliest expectations to today's reality.
