Enola Holmes 2

2022

Enola Homles 2 (2022) is another film based on The Enola Holmes Mysteries by American writer Nancy Springer.

In the 1st film, Enola Holmes ends up in the kinship care of Mycroft Holmes. In this one, she is a ward of Sherlock Holmes.

Enola has started up her own private detective agency, and is about to close it when she is asked by an orphaned girl, Bessie, to find Bessie's sister, Sarah Chapman. Bessie has been living with the older Sarah, but they are not biological sisters.

At the centre of the story is a match factory where girls and women are dying because of the phosphorus being used. A strike at the factory is a fictionalised version of an actual 1888 strike by women and girls working at the Bryant & May match factory in Bow, London.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
