What if every woman just took a day off ... Documentary / IS, US 2024 / Director: Pamela Hogan & Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir / 70 min. / OV with German subtitles
October 24, 1975:90% of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning in 1975, refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children. They brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman” today. "We loved our male chauvinist pigs ... We just wanted to change them a little.”
Perfectly timed for release in the lead-up to the strike’s 50th anniversary in 2025, the film’s message about the collective power of women to transform their society inspires viewers to reimagine the possible!
“ … a compelling, fast-paced story that easily resonates with today’s audience.” -cineuropa “Uplifting ... Along with plenty of candid humour from the activists, the animations bring levity to an already moving story. -She does the City
