March 08, 2021 - 20:31 GMT Francesca Shillcock It's been over fifty years since protestors stormed the stage at the Royal Albert Hall to kick start a"feminist revolution".
But the event was somewhat interrupted by a group of activists from the Britain's Women's Liberation Movement, consisting of around 60 in total, who were keen to get their powerful message across to all observing. Jennifer Hosten, who was crowned Miss World at the event and the first Black woman to walk away with the title, retold her experience of the event to the Observer last year."I didn't realise it fully at the time but we were all using that contest as a way to get a message across. For me it was about race and inclusion – for them, it was about female exploitation."
What features in the Miss World 1970 documentary? In the documentary, which is by filmmaker Hannah Berryman, sees a number of the protestors come together to look back on the infamous night, along with archive footage and animation to tell their story.
