Builders is a 1942 British short propaganda film directed by Pat Jackson and produced by Ian Dalrymple at the Crown Film Unit of the Ministry of Information.[1] It outlines the importance of the work of builders during the Second World War.[2]
The eight-minute film is structured as a dialogue between the builders and an off-screen narrator, a technique developed in the 1935 British social documentary film Housing Problems.[2][3]
It was one of many films produced to improve civilian morale.[4][3]
