Sylvia Pankhurst: Everything is Possible Film Screening

To mark the 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, which enabled all men and some women over the age of 30 to vote for the first time in this country, we are screening our critically acclaimed feature documentary, 'Sylvia Pankhurst: Everything Is Possible'.

The film traces suffragette and revolutionary, Sylvia Pankhurst’s ideas, campaigns and political life. Researched and filmed by over 100 volunteers, the film is packed with facts from primary sources, rare images from museums and archives, interviews with historians and compelling testimony from Sylvia’s son Richard Pankhurst and his wife Rita.

Sylvia was imprisoned more than any other suffragette for her tireless campaigning and unlike her mother Emmeline and sister Christabel, who dropped the fight for votes for women to support the war effort, Sylvia refused to sacrifice the fight for universal suffrage until it was won. Her opposition to the war and her internationalism were and remain exemplary and her bravery in fighting for equality and opposing all misanthropic trends puts her, as one interviewee in the film put it, “up there with the angels”.

So join us on Tuesday 6th February at 7.30pm at the WORLDwrite centre in Hackney (E5 0AL) for this screening and do spread the word. Book soon too as seats in our volunteer centre are limited.
