There will be a special screening of Professor Esther Johnson<\/a>‘s WW1 feature film ASUNDER<\/a><\/em> at the BFI<\/a> in London on Saturday 04 September at 1200.<\/p>\n

The screening will be introduced Director\/co-producer Esther Johnson, and co-producer Bob Stanley. Please note this event will begin promptly at 1200.<\/p>\n

ASUNDER<\/em> tells the story of what happened to an English town during the First World War, with almost all of its men fighting abroad, and its women and children left behind. The North east was in the front line, thanks to its shipyards and munitions factories. Using footage from 96 separate archive films and contemporary footage and audio, ASUNDER<\/em> collages the stories of people from Tyneside and Wearside to uncover what life was like on the home front, with bombs falling on Britain for the first time, conscientious objectors sentenced to death, and women working as doctors, tram conductors and footballers. The narration for the film is voiced by journalist Kate Adie, with the actor Alum Armstrong as the voice of the Sunderland Daily Echo & Shipping Gazette.<\/p>\n

The film team created a free learning resource<\/a> for schools in which children are encouraged to create their own songs inspired by the stories researched for the film.<\/p>\n
