Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the day when 90 percent of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes. On October 24, 1975, the women of Iceland brought their country to a standstill, refusing to work, cook, or care for their children. Frustrated by unequal wages and labor conditions, they came together as a collective, demanding recognition and a better future. Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Pamela Hogan shines a spotlight on this unprecedented act of nonviolent resistance, one that transformed Icelandic society and made it the “best place in the world to be a woman.” THE DAY ICELAND STOOD STILL blends playful animation with witty recollections from the movement’s activists, challenging us all to continue advocating for a truly equal world.
Scheduled to attend via livestream on 10/24: Pamela Hogan (director), Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdóttir (producer) “The Day Iceland Stood Still” Documentary is a Worldwide Cri de Coeur! The overriding mood of the film is joy…” The Globe and Mail
Panel Discussion and Q&A with local civic leaders (TBD) following the film. Moderated by the League of Women Voters St. Paul
