Fearless follows the stories of 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.
Using archive footage and photography to interweave pivotal moments in womens’ social history with the interviewees’ memories of life in Britain, this film documents 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 women are almost invisible to modern society, but as the film shows, they are still vibrant, engaging and full of mischievous fun.
This screening is followed by a Q&A with the director and producer, Noella Mingo.
