  • The definitive self-portrait of Britain today

    Britain in a Day is an extraordinary project to create the definitive self-portrait of Britain today, filmed by you, inspired by Life in a Day.

    On Saturday 12th November, Ridley Scott and director Morgan Matthews invited everyone in UK to capture part of their day and to upload it to YouTube.

    The resulting film and online archive will be a powerful and moving snapshot of the UK today, premiered in cinemas and broadcast on BBC Two next year, ahead of the London Olympics.
