Gentle, Angry Women: Film and Discussion with Director, Barbara Santi

A new generation of young activists awakens to a powerful, forgotten chapter of women's history. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women - Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) - discover the remarkable Greenham Common Women's Peace Movement. This groundbreaking protest saw 30,000 women stand resolute against nuclear armament forty years earlier.

Their journey is an intimate intergenerational dialogue and a 110-mile march over nine days, retracing the steps of the original Greenham Common protesters in 1981. These young women uncover not just a historical movement but a living, breathing legacy of collective courage and resistance.

Gentle, Angry Women is a poignant and timely documentary that weaves personal discovery, historical remembrance, and contemporary activism together. It confronts the rising global tensions of our time while celebrating the enduring power of women's collective action - revealing a bridge between past courage and present hope.

Director Barbara Santi, and Evie, one of the leads in the film, will be with us in person for the discussion afterwards.
