Quiet Rebels shines a spotlight on the forgotten stories of white working-class women who crossed the colour line to marry men of the Windrush generation.
Defying race and class prejudice as well as social stigma, this quietly rebellious generation of women became part of the foundations of today’s multi-cultural communities.
The plot sees Detective Shade investigate the murder of Aileen Burnett – a white woman who married a Black man – in a dystopian England. Film, movement, and soundscapes with integrated creative access provide a powerful dramatisation of stories brought to life by Julie McNamara (The Knitting Circle) and Hassan Mahamdallie (The Crows Plucked Your Sinews) and a team of creative talent.
