Synopsis:

Join our talk as Adrian Wood shares how original colour footage and sound transformed the way World War II history is told. What began over 30 years ago became 30 hours of documentaries and four illustrated books seen around the world. This illustrated session explores the research behind the films and the challenges of working with rare archival materials.

With a focus on Singapore, discover how original colour archives revealed new perspectives on the Second World War.
