Details
In this heartwarming doc, Noella Mingo interviews six women aged between 78 and 90 who, as young women, left their homes in the Caribbean, Ireland and South Asia to answer post WWII Britain’s call for workers.
The film uses archive film and photography to interweave pivotal moments in women’s social history with the interviewees’ memories of life in Britain. These are the moments and movements that impacted women then and now. They include the Notting Hill uprising and the fight for racial equality in housing and jobs. The immigrant workers’ rights fought for by the Grunwick factory strikers and the lengths mothers went to in order to ensure their children received a proper education.
Today, these fearless women are almost invisible to modern society, but as the film shows, they are still vibrant, engaging and full of mischievous fun.
Followed by filmmakers Noella Mingo and Damian Paul Daniel in conversation with broadcaster and film critic Ashanti Omkar.
