The Edwards Archive
4 Extra Debut. John Edwards explores the story of the cinema newsreel, talking to the people who filmed history in the making. From December 2006.
Twenty-five years ago, film-maker John Edwards interviewed 50 of the surviving cameramen who had worked for the cinema newsreel companies in America and Europe. His recordings were lost and recovered only recently.
The story of the newsreel, from the Lindbergh take-off to the Apollo splash-downs, can now be told in the voices of the men who filmed history.
