This bit of my blog will be all about the BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM: SUFFRAGETTE (Gavron, 2015). It has 4 other sections labelled pre-production, production, post production and distribution. 'Suffragette' is very successful British Independent Film so I am quite happy to be blogging about it. Hope you enjoy my blog! 

Synopsis of 'Suffragette'

'Suffragette' (Gavron, 2015) is a drama that tracks the story of a 1910s feminist movement. It is set in London and shows how peaceful protesters radicalised into law breakers, in order to win women voting rights. The film documents secret meetings and mistreatment of women by employers, police and political lies the Suffragettes suffered. This increased their activism with civil disobedience making them damage Oxford Street windows, postboxes, churches and politicians homes. The film is made through the perspective of Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan) who is encouraged to join the women's group by her fellow friend Violet Miller (Ann Marie Duff).
