Fearless is a heartwarming documentary that features six
women aged between 78 and 90. As young women they 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.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A - more details to come.
