Summary

COI synopsis: As our contribution to International Women’s Year, London Line shows four African women successfully at work in London - a housewife/dentist, a writer, an actress and model, and a barrister - and records what each has to say about the future, both for Africa and for women throughout the world.

Researcher Comments

The featured women are: Helen Renner, dentist; Kube Chaza, actress/model; Aina Lewis, writer; and Estelle Forster, barrister. Includes a short extract from the feature film "Live And Let Die", the rehearsal of a short drama - "Alhaja Dupe - Cash Madam" written by Aina Lewis; and a re-enacted courtroom scene. NB: Information gathered from the Ghanaian version
