Commonwealth on Film -

From Trinidad to Australia, Kenya to Barbados, Canada, India and beyond, film-makers capture the rich diversity of the Commonwealth and the work that people do.

Just in case this interested people (and they can view it) BBC Four collected a bunch of films from the Commonwealth, from the 1940s onwards, and put them together under looose headings. The first is "Work", which is viewable here; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0486px4/commonwealth-on-film-1-work and starts

One of the first clips is of the Begona, the last ship to arrive from the West Indies before Britain started restricting entrance to Britain for Commonwealth citizens. British Pathé also have a video of this here if you're interested; http://www.britishpathe.com/video/immigrants-beat-clock
