The Children See it Thru
About this item
Description |
The Children See it Thru was a British production made as a fundraising appeal to American audiences to help clothe and educate English children affected by the Blitz. The film depicts the hardships of life during wartime for children including having to sleep in bomb shelters, use gas masks, and navigate bombed-out buildings. These are countered with images of the goal of the Save the Children foundation: British children frollicking in the countryside from away from the horrors of war. |
