Изображение жизни Великобритании во время Второй мировой войны. Несмотря на лишения и беспорядки, бесчисленные бомбардировки, англичане очень старались, чтобы их быт не претерпел значительных изменений. Благодаря национальному единству пережить тяжелое время было проще. Фильм «Слушайте Британию» отличает нелинейное повествование. Без лишних слов и авторских комментариев режиссер картины обращает внимание зрителей на некоторые аспекты жизни гражданского населения, вызванные войной. Все звуки в фильме — это голос народа, простых тружеников различных сословий, песни и прочие естественные звуки.
