Breaking Ground

Breaking Ground tells the story of the London Irish Women’s Centre, a radical organisation founded to support generations of Irish women in London. The film does more than just recount the story of the Centre from its origins in the 1980s to its closure in 2012. It is a creative fusion of montage, archive and oral history that greatly contributes to our understanding of radical feminism, national identity and sexual politics during this period. Made by an all women crew, the film combines captivating and candid archive footage filmed in London over 30 years, with thoughtful and provocative accounts from some of the amazing women who were part of the women’s movement in the city during that time.
