For the first time ever we hear first person recollections of Northern Ireland's women political prisoners. A woman who is a former hunger striker. One of the longest serving political women prisoners. The first woman to be interned without trial. The difficulties of reconciling motherhood with your political convictions, the importance of comradeship and solidarity at the most turbulent points of the North's recent history.
This film shows the power of documentary. It's fascinating and moving to see these women, and hear them describe their world, treatment, ideas and friendships. And how rare to see a film full of mostly working class women too. Revelatory.
