- Summary:
- Picture Post was Britain's best-selling weekly magazine during the 1940s and early 50s. Through its picture stories, Picture Post pioneered a completely new approach to the portrayal of British life, and in doing so helped to shape modern British photography. PICTURE STORIES, a feature-length documentary, explores that revolution through the eyes of some of Britain's leading documentary and street photographers, and through archive interviews with Picture Post photographers, writers and editors.
