TISH is a heartfelt documentary that unveils the remarkable life and photography of Tish Murtha, a mother, fighter, and visionary artist hailing from Thatcher’s Britain.

Through her black-and-white images, Tish captured the struggles and triumphs of her working-class community with profound empathy and intimacy. Her daughter, Ella, embarks on a soul-stirring road trip, delving into Tish’s hidden archive of unseen images, personal artefacts, and diaries. Through this journey, Ella reconnects with the people who knew her mother best and discovers her enigmatic essence.

Tish’s powerful photography not only showcased the joys and hardships of her people but also served as a call for social change. This intimate portrait celebrates Tish’s unyielding spirit, her legacy, and the transformative power of art, reflecting the enduring relevance of her message in today’s world.
