Girl (little or teenage), woman, family, couple, friendship, emigration, class struggle, serious society subjects are terms that can be associated with the name of Sarah Gavron, one of the (too) few women directors in Great Britain.Via three major films "Brick Lane" (about the uprooting, integration and eventual return to the country of a young Bangladeshi woman), "Suffragette" (about the struggle of women in England for gender equality through the right to vote) and "Rocks" (the survival of a young Nigerian girl and her little brother of the Hackney abandoned by their mother), Sarah Gavron has imposed her universe, deeply rooted in reality and marked by an empathy devoid of any mawkishness.

Born on 20 April 1970, Gavron studied direction at the National Film and Television School. One of her teachers, and one of her major influences, was Stephen Frears. The shorts, TV films and feature films, whether fiction or documentaries, which she made between 2000 and 2020 earned her several well-deserved awards.
