Women: a success story (UK only)

We have witnessed a revolution and lived to tell the tale. Women: a success story documents the great advances of the past 100 years and celebrates women as equals in the West today.

Confronting contemporary myths and prejudices that suggest the world is awash with predators, misogyny and discrimination, over 40 real women give us a fresh perspective, tell us we have nothing to fear and we can do anything.

From across the generations, they share their life stories, what they overcame and what’s changed. Interwoven with original archive footage, we learn of women in the cotton mills, life during the war, the 1984 miners’ strike, from outdoor loos, terry nappies and illegal abortions to pre-marital sex, freedom and making it in what was once a man’s world.

Inspired by Joanna Williams’ book, Women Vs Feminism, the film tell us women have indeed made it and made it happen. This film urges us to revel in our progress and do it with men not against them.

This feature length documentary is now available on DVD and is packed with little-known facts, rare archive imagery, expert interviews and exclusive testimony from Sylvia’s son, Richard Pankhurst and his wife Rita.

Keeping Africa Small

From small-scale projects to HIV/AIDS programmes, NGOs are everywhere in the developing world. However well meaning they may be, their programmes epitomise low horizons and often get up the noses of everyone. Godbless, Wofa, De Roy and local fishermen and women loathe the peanuts offered and sanctimonious lessons in good behaviour. They want jobs and material advancement, and for NGOs and aid agencies to stop treating them like children.

I’m a subsistence farmer… get me out of here!

As Westerners celebrate nature and the so-called simple life, many in the developing world yearn for the comforts of urban modernity. Shot in Ghana, the film is packed with hard-hitting truths which may disturb Western romantic notions of rural life. We learn that many would rather live in an urban shanty town than stay stuck in subsistence life in rural areas, which means mud huts and mind-numbing toil.
