Lorna Tucker

History

Lorna Tucker spent her 20's working behind the camera and jumping on tour buses with bands such as Unkle, Lupe Fiasco, The Cult and Queens of The Stone Age creating tour videos and music promos. After cutting her teeth working with bands she moved into longer format storytelling, directing documentaries, writing scripts and creating more experimental video art projects for the likes of Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Nike, Redbull and ShowStudio. This January saw her first feature documentary Westwood - Punk Icon Activist chosen for competition and debuted to great acclaim at the 2018 Sundance Film festival. Since then it has been featured at various prominent film festivals including True/False and CPH:DOX 2018. Westwood is a definitive look at the life, fashion and activism of one of Britain's most iconic and original designers. Lorna has received rave reviews for Westwood with audiences turning out in their droves to see this thoroughly entertaining film in theatres around the UK ! This summer will see the release of Amá, a feature documentary, which because of its socially sensitive nature has taken over 9 years to bring to fruition. Produced by Raindog Films and to be released through Dartmouth Films, Amá is a gentle yet powerful film about the sterilization abuses of Native American women across the United States during the last 60 years. Next up: Lorna has written several screenplays and the first of these will go into pre production with Ged Doherty and Collin Firth's Raindog films this summer with Lorna once again in the directors chair.

Director
Now a successful filmmaker, Lorna Tucker was once a teenage runaway sleeping rough on the streets of London. For this frank, forceful and inspiring documentary, she returns to her former haunts and speaks to current and former homeless people about why, twenty-five years later, record numbers of people are still reduced to living on Britain's streets.

Writer
Amá is a feature length documentary which tells an important and untold story: the abuses committed against Native American women by the United States Government during the 1960’s and 70’s: removed from their families and sent to boarding schools, forced relocation away from their traditional lands and involuntary sterilization. ​The result of nine years painstaking and sensitive work by filmmaker Lorna Tucker, the film features the testimony of many Native Americans, including three remarkable women who tell their stories - Jean Whitehorse, Yvonne Swan and Charon Aseytoyer - as well as a revealing and rare interview with Dr. Reimart Ravenholt whose population control ideas were the framework for some of the government policies directed at Native American women.
