The Future’s in the Air

Overview

Made with the full cooperation of Imperial Airways and written by novelist Graham Greene, the film examines how a letter could travel from the Australia Outback, across the jungles, mountains, and steppes of the Empire to arrive in England. The Rotha-produced film was careful to draw contrasts between the air delivery of mail and the ancient monuments like the Pyramids and Angkor Wat.
