This screening has reached its registration capacity.

Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Herself in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded conversation with co-writer/actor Clare Dunne is included as part of this screening experience.

Single mother Sandra (Clare Dunne) escapes her abusive partner with her two young children, only to find herself trapped in temporary accommodation. After months of struggling, she draws inspiration from one of her daughter’s bedtime stories and hits upon the idea of self-building an affordable home. She finds an architect who provides her with plans and is offered land by Peggy (Harriet Walter), a woman she cleans for. Aido (Conleth Hill), a building contractor, appears willing to help, too. But as her past rears its head in the form of her possessive ex Gary (Ian Lloyd Anderson), and as bureaucrats fight back against her independent spirit, will Sandra be able to rebuild her life from the ground up?

Herself will be available on Amazon Prime Video on January 8, 2021.
