Social documentary photographer and trailblazer Tish Murtha dedicated her life to documenting the north-east working-class communities of the 1970s and 1980s in which she lived. Her work showed the reality of unemployment and deprivation in communities that Westminster was happy to sacrifice on the altar of free market capitalism, but also the humour, optimism and refusal to be cowed of her subjects. Murtha’s daughter Ella presents this superb, humane tribute to a great artist whose career never benefited from the advantages of her middle class contemporaries.
The film will be followed by a live question and answer period with narrator and Tish’s daughter Ella Murtha and film’s producer Jen Corcoran. Thank you to Modern Films for arranging their attendance!
The film is followed by a Q&A.
