Mad, Mad Century

For much of the 20th century, people relied on newsreels for film of news and other events from around the world. This program explores the funny face of the newsreels and the inside story of the people who made them. The program features the humorous clips and eccentric oddities which were added to spice up more serious newsreel stories. Two cameramen who filmed all over the world in the most difficult of circumstances, and an editor, recount their most interesting tales from the front. (48 minutes)
