The films made at Ealing during the war years were closely bound to the national war effort and marked a decisive change. Heroics were no longer the prerogative of gifted amateurs of the officer class, as the news of the time reminds us.

by Julian Mounter The Elephant Run
The African Elephant has survived for more than 40 million years, but many conservationists believe that his days are now numbered. Whole herds have been wiped out by ivory poachers and others have been killed simply to make room for the rapidly growing human population. In one park in Uganda, which four years ago had 16,000 elephants, there are now fewer than 3,000; and Kenya's elephant population is being reduced by an estimated 10 per cent per year. The poaching is done by poor African villagers, but the people behind the trade are often fabulously wealthy.
This film looks at the decline of the elephant populations, asks whether it is inevitable as man eats up rangeland for his farms and cities, and investigates who is behind the poaching racket.

A series of seven filmed narrative dramas
5: The Fire by FRANK BAKER
Up-country Eleanor Barron cannot hear the sea, so she returns to the Cornish coast to try and remake a life disrupted by tragedy. Most days Carnell, the old coast-guard, sees her wandering the beaches, picking up pieces of driftwood. You'd think she had the wrecking rights of the whole area.
