The story of Albert Kahn goes in to the 1920s, Twenties in Colour on BBC 4 and his project to record the world through pictures and film. This is an excellent show on BBC4, brings the period to life, as a student of World War One, I haven't seen some of these pictures, Paris with the vanquished arms of the Germans is new. Colour brings you closer to the subject, black and white creates a distance. On the other hand if you saw the reality of World War One in Colour it would be to much, black and white allows it to seem distant from this period. I hope the new films gain a good audience and that they learn from the past.
