Kent Production Company “Countrywide” Launch ‘Red Sails’ DVD

Creative and Art Events, Creative and Art News

Countrywide have released their latest DVD ‘Red Sails’.

The film explores through interviews and archive footage the influence of the Thames sailing barge in the development of trade, and its contribution to the building of Victorian London. It also looks in detail at the craftsmen and their trades, which made the Thames barges so unique. A few have become yachts for chartering, but the Thames barge lives on through the recent restoration of one of the most famous: the Cambria.

‘Red Sails’ is a 49 minute documentary that has been produced by Countrywide Productions and directed by Michael Maloney. It includes interviews with Bill Collard, Tim Goldsack, Steve Hall, Jim Lawrence, Steve Norris and Don Sattin, as well as archive footage and contemporary material.

The DVD is available at http://www.cwideprods.co.uk/

  2. Enjoyed Red Sails very much have bought the DVD was surprised not to see the Smeed Dean brick and cement empire at milton creek Murston did not get mentioned, this was one of the biggest brick fields that sent bricks by barge. I see two pictures in the DVD one of Adelaide dock and also a barge Histed being loaded with bricks at Adelaide, perhaps Don Sattin never got this far, as most of his recollections is of conyer works.
