A look at how making home movies took off after WWII.

How home movie-making became a cultural phenomenon. A look at how making home movies took off after WWII.

Narrated by Richard Madden, this new four-part series is a warm and nostalgic look back at how home movie-making became a cultural phenomenon. From its beginnings in the 1920s as a new and exclusive hobby of the rich, to its heyday in the 60s and 70s when just about anyone could make a movie. 

In this episode, we're heading back to the 1940s and 50s. After the horrors of World War II, home movie-making really took off capturing the austerity of the 1940s and the prosperity of the 1950s. Cheaper cameras meant that Scotland's middle classes were now also able to capture their lives on film.
