Social Salvation started as an 1898 series of films and slides produced by the Limelight Department of the Salvation Army in Australia.[1] It was directed by Herbert Booth, who would present the films while lecturing.[2][3] By 1900 it had evolved to a series of 25 one minute films and 275 slides.[1]
It has been acclaimed as the first Australian narrative film on social work.[4]
