The fifth volume in the "COI Collection: Portrait of a People", proudly looks at Britain and its people. Promoting an idealised notion of Britain has often been at the forefront of COI film production; from encouraging immigration to redefining the nation, the titles in this collection are by turns affectionate, humorous, informative and stirring. Together they paint a fascinating and revealing portrait of a people.
