The Docklands Girls

Spring, 1944. Working as a supervisor on a Spitfire production line, Hildy Dickson believes she is doing her part to help with the war effort. But troubles at home make it hard for her to find happiness and independence. Meanwhile, Cora Barnes has lost both her parents in the Blitz and is still reeling from the devastating loss. Faced with homelessness and poverty, Cora and her friend, Belle, turn to the dark streets of Southampton to work on the game. They dream of raising enough money for a new beginning and the chance to put their pasts firmly behind them. For all three women, the war creates hardships from which they will only emerge by maintaining strength and, above all, the hope that they can achieve their dreams.
