Synopsis:
A Documentary film about the life and activism of LGBTQ Scot Kath Duncan The most important Uk Civil rights leader past 100 years but almost forgotten in time until my Highly acclaimed stage play #liberty and my biography of Kath The Last Queen Of Scotland stage play Liberty
Review by Andie Karvalis:
Ray Barron-Woolford is an activist, writer and filmmaker. This documentary is based on his
biography of Kath Duncan The Last Queen of Scotland and his LBGTQ stage play Liberty.
The way we discover the beginnings of Kath Duncan’s life is wonderful. Ray Barron-Woolford is
so passionate about telling her history and that passion is infectious. The historical footage and
photographs really helped bring the story to life, along with Ray Barron-Woolford’s voice over.
The lovely Kath Duncan is portrayed by Emily Carding. This film’s cinematography and camera
work is very well done. Tom Colvile, Cara Bowen, and Balan Evans did a wonderful job with
lighting, creative shots, filming the interviews and live action sequences.
Personally, I found this film fascinating. Each interview with Lady Phyl, Neale Hanvey, Carole
Grayson, John White, and Ray Barron-Woolford was inspiring. It was also incredibly educational
for younger generations who are not aware of Kath Duncan’s impact on civil rights. Plus the
unsung heroes who follow in Kath’s legacy and fight for what they believe in, taking a leadership
role in helping all of us create a better world.
