Misbehaviour

Synopsis

The 1970 Miss World pageant, held at the Royal Albert Hall in London, was made infamous by several high-profile controversies before and during the proceedings. This film follows the Women’s Liberation Movement as they hatch a plan to disrupt the competition in order to spotlight feminist concerns whilst two other women are amongst the favourites to become the first black winners of Miss World in the event’s history. Looking back at the political and social conversations that were occurring at the time whilst also spotlighting contemporary issues, this drama is a culturally aware and slickly entertaining slice of British cinema.
