Film on Industrial Heritage and the Future of Fashion

I really enjoyed researching for this film on the Industrial Heritage and the Future of Fashion in the Mid-Antrim area. The film was commissioned by Mid and East Borough Council and The Braid, Mid-Antrim Museum for the Professor Brian Cox Summer School. It focuses on the history of the linen industry in the area and innovation in production. The Raphael family from Galgorm is used as a case study of one of the local entrepreneurial families. The film goes on to look at the working conditions, the decline of the linen industry and then considers the future of fashion and innovation. I hope you enjoy it.
