Description
In 1926, 49-year-old Violet Gibson, daughter of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland and a debutant at the Court of Queen Victoria, shot Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini at point-blank range in front of an adoring crowd in CampidoglIo Rome.Her assassination attempt saw her imprisoned and interrogated, before a deal was brokered by Mussolini and the British Foreign Office to have Violet committed to a lunatic asylum, written off as a lone "mad Irishwoman," to be locked up for the rest of her life and written out of history. This revelatory documentary details Violet's early life, from rejecting her Anglo-Irish upbringing in a well-connected, political class to becoming a bold free thinker committed to social justice, anti-war activism, and opposition to fascism.It looks at her 30 years of isolation in an English lunatic asylum as she petitioned, among others Churchill and the Princess Elizabeth, before dying alone without friends or family to attend her funeral. Ninety-five years after the assassination attempt, Dublin City Council’s decision to erect a commemorative plaque honouring Violet Gibson has generated worldwide interest.This is the story of why one woman attempted such a brazen assassination and how the world conspired to bury her in the aftermath.
