She Town

Work:: She Town (S1666242573)

Friendships, loyalties and family ties are challenged as tensions rise among a group of Dundonian women. Working all day in the mills to support their families whilst their ?kettle biler' husbands stay at home, the women find camaraderie and their voices. As the local choir audition to sing with Paul Robeson at Caird Hall others are campaigning for the rights of the mill workers. Many miles from Dundee the Spanish Civil war rages and will have a lasting effect on the lives of the local women.
