Bomb Girls: A Documentary

"Bomb Girls: A Documentary" was released in 2017 and includes interviews with historian Barbara Dickson along with five lovely bomb girls. Actual war-time footage of the Scarborough plant’s construction, its secretive tunnel system, and dangerous fuse-filling operations are portrayed.

The 25-minute film has received an enthusiastic response from the public and garnered international acclaim when it was short-listed in the prestigious 2018 Imperial War Museum's International Short Film Festival in London, England.
