THE TOLPUDDLE Radical Film Festival is now in its fifth year and, next month, in association with General Federation Of Trade Unions, we'll be running the children and young people's programme Rebel Girls to mark the 100th anniversary of women getting the vote.
That programme at the Tolpuddle Martyrs' Festival next month features strong young female protagonists who are in their own way striving for liberation. It includes films such as She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry (pictured), Sisters in Law, La Souriante Madame Beudet, Suffragette, Frida, Ballad for Syria, Real Women Have Curves and Bambule.
