For decades, a secret unit in London’s Metropolitan police infiltrated local activist groups and formed romantic relationships with their targets. Now, three women are revisiting scenes from their lives in order to reclaim the narrative and make sense of what happened.

Dorothy Allen-Pickard 

Dorothy works across narrative, documentary, and theatrical modes of filmmaking to explore subjects such as community resistance, living with mental illness and disability, the criminal justice system, and policing. Her collaborative approach to filmmaking is often inspired by her protagonists' lived experiences. She has a particular interest in blurring the line between performance and reality and is a founding member of Breach Theatre and an associate artist of Kestrel Theatre, which runs theatre and film workshops in prisons.

 

Her work has screened at festivals, including the London Film Festival, Hot Docs, Clermont-Ferrand, Palm Springs, Doc NYC, and Sheffield DocFest, and on news and broadcast channels, including PBS, Guardian Documentaries, and the BBC. She has been awarded Best UK Short at Open City Doc Festival, Best Film at 16 Days 16 Films, a Special Mention at Oberhausen, Grand Prix at Arts Convergence, shortlisted for a Grierson, and received multiple Vimeo Staff Picks.

 

She was the director's assistant on Kaos (Netflix), directed 2nd Unit on Rye Lane (Searchlight), and was selected to participate in Network @LFF in 2022. She’s an accomplished commercials director who has worked with production companies internationally and is currently developing her debut feature.

 

She’s represented by Jessica Stewart at Independent for Film and TV, Common People for UK commercials, and Skunk for US commercials.
