Children of the Blitz is Minnow Films’ 90-minute documentary for BBC Two, directed by Jack Warrender. From September 1940 to May 1941, over 35,000 tonnes of bombs and incendiaries were dropped on towns and cities across the UK. While Operation Pied Piper evacuated 800,000 children to the countryside, two million stayed behind, often to help their families or because their parents couldn’t bear to send them away. Featuring some of the last people alive who witnessed the reality of the Blitz as children, the film offers an intimate and moving portrait of wartime Britain through their eyes.
