This film uncovers the hidden legacy of photographer Tish Murtha, shedding light on her unyielding spirit and extraordinary work. It is a tribute to courage, love, and the transformative power of art. Experience the journey of a remarkable artist whose message still resonates with audiences today.

Mark says “We are all familiar with photographs that reveal the lives of others appearing like a “poverty safari”. Tish Murtha was different: she was from this place, from these streets, her images have a unique warmth and connection. Tish was not an outsider looking in, except when it came to her acceptance by the established artistic community…a rare, revealing, moving experience.”

Reviews:
“An engrossing, affectionate film…” Wendy Ide, The Observer.

“Tish is a tremendous, humane tribute to a real artist.” Paul Bradshaw, The Guardian.

“The film is handsome, but director Paul Sng keeps nudging the spotlight away from his own creative decisions: back towards the photographs, and the presence on-camera of Murtha’s daughter, Ella, a sensitive interviewer of friends and colleagues.” Danny Leigh, The Financial Times.
