People's War: One Day in May

1 x 30 history film for BBC1 & 2

This film tells the story of 3 people for whom VE day meant so much more than the end of the war - a German prisoner held captive in a camp in Essex, a female fire engine driver for whom war work was a liberation and a newly-wed who thought she was widowed. This powerful documentary mixes archive with revealing personal interviews and reconstruction to deliver a dramatic and moving tale of  the WW2 ‘home front'.
