Peas
1951 5m[Documentary](/on-demand/category/documentary)
In five minutes flat we take in the peas' entire journey, from their harvesting through their cutting, shelling, cleaning, weighing, washing and blanching, to their cooking, canning and labelling. It's a fascinating visual record of a mid-century factory that is substantially - but not entirely - mechanised. The Co-operative movement had a long and rich history of filmmaking, embracing political education and commercial promotion alike.
