BANNERS AND BROAD ARROWS ‘FILM LAUNCH’

In 1832 the women of the United Kingdom were excluded from the Parliamentary franchise.

After 71 years this injustice remained.

In 1903 the Women’s Social and Political Union was formed.
This is the story told through their own eyes …

A lecture by writer/director Nigel Shephard, who will be presenting his work so far on the film Banners and Broad Arrows. He tells the story of the Suffragette Movement from its inception in 1903 to its demise at the outbreak of war in 1914, using original still photographs taken by the Suffragettes themselves. Please come along to demonstrate your support at this first fundraising event to take the film into full production.
