To mark the inaugural Brigit 2022: Dublin City Celebrating Women event, Smashing Times are delighted to present three works highlighting powerful women from the past and present. ‘Tell Them our Names' is a short film which presents imagined re-creation of moments from the lives of five powerful women during WWII recalling moments of bravery, sacrifice and love amidst the horror of war, as women stood up against Fascism and totalitarianism and refused to accept oppression. Women’s stories that have inspired the film are Marta Hillers (1911-2001) from Germany; Mary Elmes (1908-2002) from Ireland; Maria Eugenia Jasińska (1906-43) from Poland; Neus Català Pallejà (915-2) from Spain; and Dolores Ibárruri, or La Pasionaria (1895-1989), from Spain.
‘Mary Elmes' is a short interview with Mary Moynihan, who describes the incredible life and work of this courageous Cork woman, who saved hundreds of Jewish children’s lives during WWII.
‘Don’t See Any Lines' is a song and music video by Hilary Bow, which was released on World Refugee Day 2019 to increase awareness of the de-humanising treatment of asylum seekers across Europe.
