Cinema Peek tells the forgotten wartime stories behind the classic actors of British and Hollywood cinema. Every documentary asks one question: what did your favourite screen face actually do between 1939 and 1945? The tank crews. The Royal Navy ratings. The Royal Air Force aircrews. The Special Operations Executive agents. The Entertainments National Service Association volunteers. The conscripts, the volunteers, and the ones who simply showed up when their country asked. Their films we know. Their war stories, mostly, we don't.
