1950s British Documentaries?
I need to write an essay about Class, Gender & Citizenship in 1950s Britain as depicted by documentaries. Unfortunately, the British Government had taken big steps forward in the previous decade by creating the NHS, the Welfare State & winning a war so they were no longer 'newsworthy' - most of the documentaries I can find are about how lovely Power Stations are!
I would appreciate suggestions of appropriate documentaries (especially if there is plenty of info/analysis online for them). If anyone has specific knowledge, I can be contacted via my profile.
