An historical biopic covering the life of British welfare campaigner Emily Hobhouse

Emily Hobhouse rose to prominence after she had brought to the attention of the British public the deprived conditions inside the British concentration camps during the Second Boer War. This historical drama had some short scenes filmed on the Bluebell Railway, though as it was only ever released in South Africa after the director had returned back home there to retire, it is impossible to ascertain exactly what these scenes constituted.
