DOROTHY LAWRENCE

(Short Films 2014)

​

​

In 1915 aspiring journalist Dorothy Lawrence left London for northern France with ambitions to become the first female war correspondent. What happened next defied authority and convention – and challenges traditional depictions of women’s role in World War One.

Three short films commissioned by The Historical Association, exploring Dorothy's character in key moments of her life during and after her journey to the frontline.
