Blitz Spirit with Lucy Worsley (2021)
Heart-wrenching
29 October 2022 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Through actual citizen diaries and film, with reenactments and Lucy's archive visits, this documentary forces a close look at what the Blitz was really like. I cried.
I never knew about the social program, intended to boost morale, that invited citizens to document their experiences. What a treasure.
I was especially intrigued by Lucy's use of newspaper and newsreel reports to show not just reality but post-production editing for propaganda purposes.
Enlightening does not begin to do this feature justice. As a retired teacher, I certainly hope this film is used in history classes, as students will also be surprised to see what we actually means.
