Preserving movies in a nuclear bunker

In Culpeper, Virginia there's one of the largest film archives in the world. During the Cold War, billions of dollars in cash were stashed there in case conflict broke out. But these days it houses a nitrate film vault, which is owned by the US Library of Congress. It's looked after by a full-on film enthusiast called George Willeman. Outlook's Colm Flynn has been to meet him. (Picture credit: Leon Neal/Getty Images.)
