As the young men and women return home from serving abroad in World War II, the children of the late 1940s and 50s recall an idyllic and sheltered childhood that has been described as “heaven” by many who lived. But with the growing demands and changes within the textile industry, their heaven would soon come to an abrupt and devastating end. This is part one of a two-part screening program.
