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.
