Carina Birrell - Harry Birrell Presents Films of Love and War

For the latest SWH! podcast Ali spoke to actor and producer Carina Birrell all about 'Harry Birrell Presents Films of Love & War' ahead of its broadcast on BBC Scotland on 17th March. The film was a labour of love for Carina as Harry is her grandfather, and the film centres on his astonishing film footage and diaries. The conversation touches on how the film came to be, Harry's love of film and his amazing life, his time in and out of the army, the important role of director Matt Pinder, how actor Richard Madden became involved, what it means to Carina that it has made it onto screens, and the amazing synchronicity that seems to be attached to the film. It's a poignant and heart-warming half hour that gives insight and context to what is an incredible documentary of the 20th century through one man's eyes.
