John Willis – The People’s War

Those aren’t the only BBC and local connections in our 80th anniversary programming.

John Willis will speak about The People’s War, the BBC project which gathered over 47,000 testimonies from ordinary people about their experiences of the Second World War.

They sat largely unexplored in the archives for two decades, until Willis began to explore these untold stories of everyday bravery, terror and community, at home and on the front. He is joined by award-winning BBC Panorama reporter and journalist Jane Corbin.
