GENTLE, ANGRY WOMEN + DIRECTOR Q&A

Three young activists trace the legacy of Greenham Common Women’s Peace protest forty years on and discover the alarming reality of British nuclear armament. Retracing the original 110-mile march, Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) embark on an intimate intergenerational exchange, revealing a journey of self-discovery and a timely narrative of feminist activism that speaks to the need for hope, action and change. Gentle, Angry Women (63min) is a poignant and timely documentary that weaves personal discovery, historical remembrance, and contemporary activism together, while honouring the largely overlooked Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, where thousands of women lived for 19 years protesting against nuclear missiles. It responds to 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. The film will be followed by a Q&A with the director, Barbara Santi. Tickets are on a Pay-What-You-Can scale, from £3.00. There will be no ads and trailers before the film, so please arrive on time.
