Rewriting the myth about Essex girls

Available for over a year

Five inch heels, promiscuous and unintelligent. Those are just some of the assumptions people can make when they hear you're from Essex. The term 'Essex Girl' may have been removed from dictionaries, but the stigma hasn't gone away. Film maker Natalie Scarsbrook has lived in the county all her life and is hoping to challenge the outdated stereotypes with her new documentary 'Witchcraft and Stilettos'.
