Storyline on IMDb
A drama that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early
feminist movement, women who were forced underground to
pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly
brutal State. These women were not primarily from the genteel
educated classes, they were working women who had seen
peaceful protest achieve nothing. Radicalized and turning to
violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose
everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes,
their children and their lives. Maud was one such foot soldier.
The story of her fight for dignity is as gripping and visceral as
any thriller, it is also heart-breaking and inspirational.
