This is the second programme of a 7-week season of highly unconventional films and videos by a new generation of British film and video- makers. The first film, by Ngozi Onwurah is based on the real life story of the film-maker and her mother (who actually plays herself) Talking elsewhere about her film, Onwurah explains, 'When my mother was pregnant with her third child she discovered a lump in her breast. Almost inmediately after the birth she underwent a radical mastectomy which left her unable to breast feed her son. 12 years later i, her eldest daughter embarked on a career in modelling'. A story of a mother and her daughter, it is also about the visibility and invisibility of women.
