“There is a quiet tragedy unfolding each day in archives around the world. For over 100 years humanity has recorded every aspect of its existence on motion picture film for the benefit of future generations. Stories of the legends of politics, sports and industry captured on motion picture film for posterity lie rotting, unviewed – and with each day more is lost forever.”
- Jack Norton
