One of a number of short films G.A. Smith made to demonstrate his patented Kinemacolor process, this showcases a traditional historical re-enactment performed by people from various South Kent towns.
It also provides a graphic illustration of the Kinemacolor process's major drawback. Because it relied on alternating frames being filmed and projected through red and green filters, any movement would lead to minute differences between red and green elements, leading to the colour fringing that's all too evident in this particular take.
