Gentle, Angry Women

Coming-of-age documentary. Unaware of the longest female-led protest in British history, a new generation of young female activists is standing up to fight for the issues of their time, as well as being teenagers and finding their place in a turbulent world. We meet Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) as they discover the largely overlooked Greenham Common Women's Peace Movement, where 30,000 women protested against nuclear missiles forty years earlier. Retracing their steps, the young women embark on a unique intergenerational exchange with their activist counterparts, revealing a journey of self-discovery and a timely narrative of feminist activism.
