Mark Littlewood on An Anarchist's Story

Mark Littlewood, director and producer of  Ethel Macdonald: An Anarchist’s Story will talk about the making of the film, the remarkable story behind it and will answer questions.

Made in 2006 with support from Scottish film, the drama-documentary intersperses original reportage with drama and expert interviews over supporting commentary by David Hayman.  It was filmed on location in Barcelona and Glasgow.  Littlewood said: "It is a remarkable story of an individual who struggles to achieve, virtually on her own," he said. "even in California, people were concerned for her safety when she was arrested and the Scottish papers called her a Scarlet Pimpernel. She lived … with other anarchists in Gibson Street in Glasgow. We have interviewed one of them, John Caldwell, and he gives a remarkable testimony."

Mark's talk will be preceded by a screening of the film, starting at 1.00pm.
