Most leading documentarians in Britain today are women. The Camera is Ours tells the story of some of the key female pioneers of the British documentary movement beginning in the 1930s and culminating in the late sixties. It’s a story that is beautifully captured in the collections held by the BFI National Archive, now available to audiences via this new collection.
