The Life and Vision of Lilias Trotter
I had never heard of Lilias Trotter. Coming across a review of her biography, I was intrigued and pursued finding the book by Miriam Rockness. I then read about this movie about her life and hunted it down too! It beautifully portrays the progression of her life--from wealthy artistic young lady to a woman who pioneers ideas to reach the Arabs in North Africa. Beautiful music, landscapes and paintings fill the DVD. Miriam Rockness, the writer who spent thirty years reasearching Lilias Trotter, is included in the film. Without her tenacity, Lilias Trotter would be unknown.
Very interesting and well. . .beautiful! Some of the shots were reused.
