Recap
On a fall morning in 1975, 90% of Iceland's women walked out of their homes, refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children, bringing the country to a standstill and transforming Iceland into the most livable country in the world for women. Told for the first time by the women who ignited the movement and laced with playful animation, this film recounts the true story of the 12 hours that sparked a revolution.
