Coi Collection Vol. 8: Your Children and You

Synopsis
The BFI continues its series of releases from the COI archive with this double-disc collection of films made by the UK government about childhood and children.

From post-war films made to promote healthy eating, good schooling and getting your baby to sleep, through to a 1980s documentary on artificial insemination, YOUR CHILDREN AND YOU is a fascinating look at the social history of Britain and changing attitudes to children and child-rearing.

This collection also includes four rare films from the Wellcome Trust archive on the themes of childbirth and motherhood: BATHING AND DRESSING (1935), TOXAEMIA OF PREGNANCY (1958), MATERNITY: A FILM OF QUEEN CHARLOTTE’S HOSPITAL (1935) and CHILDBIRTH AS AN ATHLETIC FEAT (1939).
