    Event description

    This years movie is the incredible Mothers of the Revolution, which  tells the story of one of the longest protests in history, when between 1981 and 2000, thousands of women from around the world came together and lived in tents  at Greenham Common in the UK to take a committed stand against nuclear proliferation. The protest by the media, the film reveals the women as the Cold War heroes they were, who persisted in the face of arrests, condemnation and scorn, took on a superpower, and changed the world. 

    At its heart, Mothers of the Revolution is a Cold War drama-thriller, a tale filled with the tension of a spy novel, with furtive trips behind the Iron Curtain into Soviet Russia, infiltrations of top secret military bases, and messages passed under cover of darkness.

    It’s also a story of love – love of family, of children, and of each other – and of bitter conflicts that pitted mother against son, and husband against wife.

    Most importantly, it’s a story of enduring morality, sacrifices, and a commitment to a higher cause.
