IMBER: BRITAIN'S LOST VILLAGE
 
1x60'
BBC4
May 2004
The villagers of Imber in Wiltshire were evacuated for military purposes during WW2 and were never allowed to return home. But the lost village was to come back to life when composer Giya Kancheli was commissioned to create a piece of music for Imber as part of a unique event that took place last summer. Acclaimed filmmaker Mark Kidel looks at Imber's unusual history and how it formed the inspiration for Kancheli's moving score.
