Cindy Buxton made several successful wildlife films in Africa for television. Then in 1978 she decided to film on the Falkland Islands and managed to persuade Annie Price to give up photographing children to become her assistant.
In conversation with Roy Plomley, they talk about their experiences, about their life during the invasion, and each chooses the four records they would take to the mythical Island.
