THE SUFFRAGETTE DERBY

GB 1913, P Topical Budget, Print b/w, 35mm, 5 min, silent, BFI National Archive

The cameramen of Topical Company were filming this famous annual horse race on 4 June 1913 when suffragette Emily Davison ran in front of the king's horse. Not noticing the severity of the event, they continued to film the day’s event. [...] Four days later, when Davison died of her wounds, the newsreels responded by reissuing the footage (Holly Hyams, Make More Noise! Suffragettes in Silent Film).
