Everyman
Sweet Mother
1979 • E8 Mar 18, 1979 50m
The Madonna and Child dominate Christian imagery of women.
How deep is the connection between the church's attitude to women, and that of male society? And how far does this picture of the ' perfect mother' reflect the reality of women's experience?
In this Everyman film Christian and non-Christian women explore the effect on their lives of this image of idealised motherhood.
