The film "SMITH" was made in 1939 for the Embankment Fellowship Centre - now Veterans Aid. The idea was to raise awareness of the work that the charity undertook together with fundraising.
It was produced on a "cost only" basis for £400 and was formally launched in June 1939 at a luncheon at The House of Commons. The distribution was to be undertaken through cinemas throughout the country in September 1939 - unfortunately world events intervened and the film was withdrawn from distribution!
This Michael Powell film is a recognised classic which is owned by and copyrighted to The Ex-Service Fellowship Centres.
VA is still caring for veterans today. Please see the 'Help Us' link if you wish to assist in our work.
