War, Peace and Pictures: The Films of Kay Mander
Tribute to documentarist filmmaker Kay Mander.
For Kay Mander and the group producing films for the Ministry of Information's Film Division, World War Two provided an invaluable learning ground and their output was seen by millions. This revealing programme pays tribute to their achievements.
