BBC One - Films of Scotland, War and Peace

A look at WWII propaganda films telling Scots how to win the war, such as Harvest Holiday.

Series looking at the documentaries made in 1938-1982 to tell Scots about their country. This episode features WWII propaganda films, such as Harvest Holiday.

Greg Hemphill takes a sideways look at some remarkable documentary films. Between 1938 and 1982 over a hundred and fifty films were made to sell Scotland to the world and tell Scots themselves about their own country.

During the Second World War propaganda films told Scots how to win the war - from Harvest Holiday persuading parents to send their children tattie howking, to Give Us More Ships, showing how five ships a week were built in Scotland. When the war was over, Films of Scotland looked to a better future and the building of new towns like Cumbernauld.
