Twig's film footage

Twig draws on footage from the very best film archives around the world, including BBC Motion Gallery, NHK (Japan), CBS (USA), ABC (Australia), CCTV (China), Getty Images, the Science Photo Library, NASA and many others. Twig uses these footage sources to produce original bespoke films that access the world's most recent and high quality documentary footage.

All Twig's films are written by experienced television producers working closely with schoolteachers across the UK and at some of the world's top schools.
