Sisters in the Spirit

At 14, Laura Herbert was an orphan, cutting cane on a St Kitts estate. Now 75. she lives on a tiny pension in a back-to-back in Leeds. Her days are spent by the window, reading the Bible. Elizabeth Richardson has 12 children. When she wasn't caring for them she was out working. Now not even a damaged back keeps her away from her duties as church steward. Lunadelle Willocks works all week in a factory. At the weekend, as 'Volunteer Willocks', she leads and inspires her congregation in a tiny backstreet church. These are just some of the 'sisters in the spirit': women from the Caribbean who have made their lives in inner-city Britain. This film tells their story. Researcher
