On an autumn morning in 1975, 90% of Icelandic women refused to work, cook or care for children. For one day, the entire country stood still. For the first time, the main protagonists tell this story themselves, enriched by playful animations. The result is a film that is both subversive and surprisingly witty. After the screening, there will be a discussion with xx. Your ticket includes an alcohol-free welcome drink from RamRam Bar. A woman who still protests for peace at 100 years old. Librarians fighting for the right to read. A girl who won't be deported. As part of Let's Doc and our series on democracy, we show five documentaries about people who want a different future.
