THEY THEM US is an intense relationship drama that follows a group of friends in their mid-20s as they carve their niche in the world. They’re part of a unique generation that’s empowered enough to unpick the meaning of gender, test their sexuality and challenge the binaries that have bound older people. They’re products of the #metoo, feminist, politically polarised world in climate crisis that has called people to be bold and take action.
The precinct that brings this group of young people together is a new women’s football team, Victoria Park Women FC in East London. Driven by strong episode hooks, series one follows SUZE, a young gay woman and her journey towards a non-binary they/them identity as SKY. It’s uncharted territory for them that comes with unexpected consequences for them, their friends and partner.
Written and directed by Jane Marlow, the pilot shot in London during November 2019 is currently in post production.
If time was really up; if women had half the seats in UK Parliament, formed half the CEOs in business, had equal input in the judiciary, police force, health service, media, shared half the wealth, power and influence with men, what would the UK look like? IN EQUALITY WE TRUST is a creative documentary project that attempts to discover what an equal society might look like by asking women one simple question: which areas of our society would you most want to change or challenge if you had the power? The responses we gather from our online survey will form the basis of the film.
