Semi-Final Film Overview
As a child growing up, Judy Fryd was just the smiley, little old lady who lived at the end of my pebbled street. But to the thousands of people who are helped every day by MENCAP, Judy Fryd is the woman who fought for their rights in a time when families with mentally handicapped children were left isolated.
My film is a brief commemoration of her life. I wanted to make a short, understated documentary about a short, understated woman who did amazing things in a society still emerging from the Second World War. Technically, I took my cue from the BBC series, Who Do You Think You Are?
