Following the successful Into Film project Make Film - Greatest Generation in 2015 this resource provides lesson and activity ideas to engage learners with archive film and support children and young people to make their own documentary films. The resource includes activity outlines and resources to engage children and young people with these questions: What is the Greatest Generation? What was life like in 1930-1960? What can we learn about 1930-1960 from archive film? What is a documentary? How can we make an informative and entertaining documentary? And how do we interview an eyewitness?

We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.
