EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to the year 1943, amidst the chaos of World War II. The image captures a scene from Humphrey Jennings' iconic film "Fires Were Started" which beautifully depicts the fortitude and resilience of London's firefighters during the Blitz. As flames engulf buildings in the background, our attention is immediately drawn to a fireman standing tall in his protective gear. His stoic expression reflects both determination and courage as he battles against an unforgiving enemy - fire itself. Through this powerful visual narrative, Jennings skillfully portrays not only the physical challenges faced by these brave individuals but also their unwavering spirit in protecting their city and its people. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary men were transformed into extraordinary heroes during times of crisis. It encapsulates their unwavering commitment to duty despite overwhelming odds and showcases their ability to find strength within themselves when confronted with adversity. Jennings' masterpiece "Fires Were Started" stands as a testament to human resilience and unity even in the face of destruction. This remarkable print allows us to reflect upon history's lessons while honoring those who selflessly risked their lives for others during one of Britain's darkest hours.
