Suffragette - Trailer

Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.

Throughout the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, a secret war took place on the streets of England. For years, women of all ages and classes had fought for their right to vote, although they used politics and reason as their biggest weapon. When no clear results were seen, a specialist group formed a more radical idea - to take the political campaign out of the shadows and into the streets, with protests and fighting to gain what was theirs by right. But as the government fights back even harder, desperate times call for desperate measures.

'Suffragette' is an upcoming drama from director Sarah Gavron ('Brick Lane', 'Village at the End of the World') and acclaimed screenwriter Abi Morgan ('Shame', 'The Iron Lady'). The film was announced back in April 2011, with the BFI Film Fund. Principle photography began on 24th February 2014 in London, and became the first ever film to be shot at the British Houses of Parliament. The film is set for theatrical release in the US on 23rd October 2015, before appearing in UK theatres on 30th October 2015.
