Sapper Smith

I was doing some research on Dorothy Lawrence and found out that a short film was actually made about her life earlier this year by a group of London Goldsmiths Film students. 

It hasn’t been released to the public yet (I don’t think) but it was selected by the Edinburgh Independent Film Awards Festival for best student film!

They released a teaser trailer eleven days ago which I’ll insert below if you’re curious!


If you’re still curious, here are a couple of links to find out more about the film:

Link to their kickstarter where you can learn more about the film.

Link to the film’s facebook page.

  1. If I’m being honest, I don’t really have an insightful or well thought out comment to say about your post, but I would like to state just how neat that film looked and how it could help tell the story of Dorothy Lawrence. As others have pointed out both in class, and on the blog, the women’s story of their experience in WW1 is often silenced so even though the film would obviously be dramatized, it is still a step in the right direction of providing more details about the whole history of the war.
