Bernadette: Notes on a Political Journey (Lelia Doolan, 2011)

A contemporary Irish classic about an indomitable woman: Lelia Doolan’s documentary Bernadette: Notes on a Political Journey tells the story of Northern Irish socialist and political activist, Bernadette Devlin, who — at just twenty-one years old — became the youngest MP ever elected (in 1969). Doolan is one of Ireland’s most celebrated directors and the film perfectly reflects women’s abilities and achievements both behind and in front of the camera.
