The Conductor
Maria Peters
Womens History Month
We are screening ‘The Conductor’ to complement our repeat shows of ‘Tár’.
Olivier Magis’s understated documentary focuses on the efforts by the exiles’ descendants to affect a return to their Indian Ocean idyll – a campaign led from Crawley, home to some 3000 second-generation Chagossians, by a charismatic and indomitable NHS worker, Sabrina Jean, whose father was one of those treated so cynically half a century ago.
She strives to keep the flame of hope alive in her community with one single goal: to return home. But as the elders die out and memory fades, time is running out.
