THE BLACK COUNTESS FROM BAIN STREET (Never Kissed by the Queen)
Thanks to development funding from the National Film and Video Foundation, I am in the first phase of producing what I hope to be a highly significant documentary film, about one of the most extraordinary cross-cultural love stories ever. If you’ve landed here, you probably share a passion for culture, history, and amazing little-known tales like that of Harry and Martha which have quietly helped to shape nations such as ours, thereby creating a richer society. In a while, I hope to be able to report that my passion has proved infectious, attracting others who would like to share, and perhaps assist on a more material basis, in the telling of this tale.
By nature, a sense of common purpose implies that those who would be interested in investing in this project (via whatever means at their disposal) are also readers, and – as such – will not object to familiarising themselves with the subjects in question, namely Harry and Martha Grey (aka Lord and Lady Stamford.) Please read on …
