😸
Edition screened: BFI Blu-ray, released 2011. English language. Cumulative runtime approximately 146 minutes.

Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.

This BFI compilation includes 6 short documentaries about English life in the 1950s and 60s. Mr. Marsh Comes to School is a vocational film aimed at teenagers, but the others are enjoyable, often nostalgic, exposés of a disappearing world. I Want to Go to School is a documentary about the students and teachers in a constructive, nurturing Model School, depressing because it deviates so drastically from sad reality.
