2018英国纪录片
导演：Emma Frank
演员：露西·沃斯利
February 2018 will mark 100 years of women in the UK being allowed to vote. Today in Britain, this democratic act feels like a basic human right, but as Lucy Worsley will reveal in this 90 minute special, the battle that women had to wage for this right was complex and hard-fought.
Using original source materials to piece together a captivating telling of the forgotten stories from this period of history, Lucy will explore the range of people who fought for the vote - young and old, rich and poor, men and women, from all over the country - some of whom decided to go against every rule and expectation that Victorian society had about them.
She will reveal what life was like as a Suffragette whose every move was tracked by a special police unit, explore the horrific prison conditions that these women were sentenced to as well tell the story of unsung heroes and heroines who helped women to reach equality at the ballot box by peaceful means.
With the help of letters, diary entries, newspaper articles and formerly classified documents, Lucy will immerse us in the story of women on the run from the police, hunger strikes, arson, harassment campaigns and family fall outs on one side with espionage, force feeding, news media bias, police surveillance and government interference on the other, painting a vivid and timely depiction of this landmark moment in British History.
Lucy says: 「I'm thrilled to be marking the 100 year anniversary of women getting the vote with this 90 minute film for BBC One in such a dramatic and exciting way.」
