Her Story, Our Inspiration: A Film Celebrating Inspirational Women Across Generations

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Her Story, Our Inspiration, a powerful short film exploring the legacies of inspirational women and how they continue to impact us today. This film brings together students from Mulberry School for Girls and Connaught School for Girls with older women from Tower Hamlets to share stories, insights, and reflections on the challenges women face—and overcome—across generations.

Created over six weeks of workshops with filmmakers and artists, Her Story, Our Inspiration is a collaborative effort led by filmmaker Chuck Blue Lowry and poet Laila Sumpton. Through discussions of personal and social history, this intergenerational group reflects on the resilience, passion, and determination required to keep advocating for women’s rights and inspiring one another.

This film is part of Magic Me’s commitment to fostering dialogue and understanding across generations through the arts, supported by Arts Council England.
