Where to obtain film
This film is available in its entirety as an extra on the BBC DVD release of Watkins' 1964 film "Culloden" (PAL region 2 - UK). It is also very interesting to compare this with his Culloden film; the camera work, narration style, minimal use of music are all quite similar. The Culloden film is worth the price of the DVD alone, along with its audio commentary and location footage. Well worth checking out. As an aside, it is interesting to note that this film (The Forgotten Faces) was made in England, 5 years after the event took place. I would love to compare the two films with Watkins' 1999 film on the Paris Commune, but it has not been released on DVD yet (Sept 2005).
