Composed on the streets of Belfast as well as in the Ulster Museum and Royal Opera house the film forefronts working-class women’s voices to ask: who has the right to speak and in what way? Written and co-directed by Fusco, who grew up beside a peaceline in Belfast during The Troubles, the work premieres on the 25th anniversary of The Good Friday Agreement.
Art Night will host the Scottish premier of the film in Dundee as part of a national and international tour of the work. The film running time is 45 minutes and it will be shown at regular times over the course of Art Night.
