#LucyWorsley explores the lives of six real people who lived, worked and volunteered during the Blitz. Using the same style as Lucy's film about the Suffragettes, the film shows their remarkable resilience, as well as the terrible suffering they endured, shining a light on the role of the front-line workers and volunteers at the heart of it all. The six lives at the heart of the film are 17-year-old Jewish shopgirl Nina Masel, from Essex, who reported for Mass Observation; Frances Faviell, a Chelsea artist and socialite who an auxiliary nurse r; Ita Ekpenyon, a Nigerian teacher who moved to the UK to study law but who took on the role of an air-raid precaution; Barbara Nixon, an out-of-work actress who worked s as an ARP warden; Frank Hurd, a full-time fireman and Robert Barltrop, too young to enlist, who worked as a porter in a Sainsbury's warehouse and volunteered as a fire watcher.
