The World's Ill-Divided...

History - hundreds of long-forgotten facts stored in rows of antique books collecting dust. Facts about kings, queens, statesmen - the makers of history. There is another kind of history, one in which we all take part, rich or poor - oral history. 'I can tell you all about Henry VIII but I canna tell you about Willie Bloggs ' so says Bella Keyser , ex-Dundee shipyard welder. Her story, and those of many more older Dundonians, is being kept alive by the work of the Dundee Oral History Project. This film samples the rich and varied history of the city which Winston Churchill promised he would ruin.
