A film by Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon

Over a century ago, filmmaker Sagar Mitchell and James roamed England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales filming everyday lives of people at work and at play. For 70 years, 800 rolls of their early nitrate film sat in sealed barrels in the basement of a local shop in Blackburn. Miraculously discovered by a local businessman and painstakingly restored by the British Film Institute, this B B C series details the story and treasures of the most exciting film discovery of recent times.

The B B C and the British Film Institute bring all this onto the screen with The Lost World of Mitchell and Kenyon. Presented by Dan Cruickshank, this series opens up the past and boasts a world exclusive: the first ever footage of Manchester United. Along the way, we interview descendants seeing extraordinary films of their ancestors for the first time.
