16 short films

As a part of our Heritage Lottery Fund project, we have attempted to capture the inspiring lives of 16 exemplary women

As a part of the project, we have commissioned 16 short films to capture the moving journey of these women and immerse you in their inspiring lives. Writer and filmmaker Eshan Parikh (PhD Creative and Critical Writing, Cardiff University) is collaborating with us to bring these stories to life.
