Calling Blighty

Calling Blighty is a series of short films made in 1944-45 of individual servicemen and women in the Far East sending personal messages home to their family and friends. These poignant filmed messages (we have around 600 of them) were shown to invited audiences in local cinemas, bringing much laughter, and certainly a few tears. 'A Message Home' is a project to try to find as many families and veterans as possible, to bring them together to show the films again, and to tell their stories.
