My amazing, jigsaw-obsessed stepmum Mo Mowlam, died 15 years ago today, 19th August 2005. What would she make of where we are today? 1/6

Her bullshit meter would definitely be going off the charts... as a woman who believed in the power of democracy, women’s equality and our future being all about our young people - she’d be pretty raging right now... 2/6

She certainly would not be sitting back. She’d be reminding everyone how important their vote was in the upcoming US elections. She’d be telling me to get out there and speak out, march, stand up for what’s right, don’t just talk about it in your bubble... 3/6

With that in mind - I’m powering on, determined to make my next documentary about her inspirational life and legacy. I’ve been planning and plotting and writing my next film with the amazing @2012Niamh @LunaPictures throughout lockdown - working title ‘In Search of Mo’ 4/6

I’m done waiting for a gatekeeper to give me permission to tell her story. 5/6

Thanks Mo. You continue to keep me fighting and hopeful, even in these immensely weird times. We miss you! cc @HillaryClinton @madeleine @annaturley @LouHaigh @T4WomenNetwork @MonicaBelfast #PearlSagar @WomenInFilm #momowlam 6/6
