Prior to the First World War, women's rights were a regular item of Pathé newsreels. One great landmark in the history of Pathé scoops was one of their cameras capturing the extreme sacrifice by the suffragette Emily Davison. In the blink of an eye, Davison runs from the crowds and throws herself under the King's horse. Crowds of people run on to the track to try and help both the fallen rider and Davison. Davison died several days later in hospital. • For Archive Licensing Enquiries Visit: https://goo.gl/W4hZBv • Explore Our Online Channel For FULL Documentaries, Fascinating Interviews Classic Movies: https://goo.gl/7dVe8r • Watch another video from Disaster Caught on Camera: https://goo.gl/xypgz6 • Watch More Tragic Examples of Disasters Caught on Film: https://goo.gl/4xT89A • #BritishPathé #History #Disasters #Tragedy #Horses #King #Women • Subscribe to the British Pathé YT Channel: https://goo.gl/hV1nkf • BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY • Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it. • Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance. • British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. https://www.britishpathe.com/
