A short film that tells the story behind the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster. Its origins at the beginning of WWII and its rediscovery in a bookshop in England in 2000, becoming one of the iconic images of the 21st century. Film, music, script and narration by Temujin Doran. http://www.studiocanoe.com/index.php?/profile/ 
Concept and production by Nation. http://www.wearenation.co.uk/

My thanks to Wellington writer/editor Dale Williams for brining this charming clip to my notice.
