For Freedom Details

For Freedom

In pre-war Britain, newsreel Chief Will Ferguson and his son Steve plan to make a documentary celebrating human achievement – but the events in Europe sour their plans, Hitler’s Third Reich is on the march and has just invaded Czechoslovakia. Europe is in flames and instead they make a documentary fiercely condemning the rise of Fascism. Made in 1940 and starring Will Fyffe, this stirringly patriotic film boosted morale in the nation’s cinemas, cleverly combining new scenes with genuine newsreel footage to show one of Britain’s great naval triumphs in the early months of the war.
