About Sarah Boston
Sarah Boston is an award winning documentary film maker and author and has been a trade union member (ACTT/BECTU) since 1967. Her experience in the early 1970s when she, with a small group of women, challenged their union's discriminatory practices, led her to embark on research into other unions and their history.
