Film 1917 - NOT amateur radio

We go to the cinema rarely. Today we went to see the film 1917 by Sam Mendies.  It was not what you'd call an "enjoyable" film, but it was very good. It is about the horrors of WW1 and was totally immersive.

These days we know so little about the horrors of those days. Life must have been very hard. Wars seem so senseless, although we never seem to learn. Of course, all those who fought in WW1 are dead now, making the futility of war all the more poignant.

Old home movies online - NOT amateur radio

See http://player.bfi.org.uk/new/

Since lunchtime, the BFI has made available thousands of old digitised home movies online. This is a treasure trove as some are well over 100 years old.
