The Day Iceland Stood Still

When 90% of Iceland’s women walked off the job and out of their homes one morning in 1975, they brought their country to its knees and catapulted Iceland to the forefront of today’s global fight for gender equality. Unexpectedly funny, laced with evocative animation and powerfully told by the women who lived it – this is the true story of 12 hours that launched a revolution.
Op 24 oktober 1975 liep 90 procent van de IJslandse vrouwen weg verliet hun huis en weigerde te werken, te koken of voor de kinderen te zorgen. Daarmee brachten ze het hele land tot stilstand en zorgden ze ervoor dat IJsland bekend kwam te staan als de “beste plek ter wereld om een vrouw te zijn”. Pamela Hogan vertelt deze documentaire film over deze historische dag voor het eerst vanuit het perspectief van de betrokken vrouwen, begeleid door speelse animatie en een humoristisch tintje.
