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 it is impossible to ascertain exactly what these scenes constituted. The scattering of reviews that are available suggest it was a decent production yet it seems nigh on impossible to find a copy of what proved to be Terence Alexander’s final film role.
