To marks its 50th anniversary, The Grierson Trust has named the most influential and ground-breaking documentaries of the last five decades. Included on the list is Life, Love, Death in A Day edited by Nick Follows. Sue Bourne’s extraordinary documentary captured the joy and heartbreak of an ordinary day in modern Britain through the births, marriages and funerals that took place in one city over twenty-four hours including a longed-for first child, a pagan wedding and the tragic death of a younger brother.
