In 1975, Icelandic feminists organised a strike to claim gender equality, which was supported by 90% of women. The country was paralysed, bringing it to the front line of the global fight for equality. Fifty years later, those who took part recall this joyful and historic day, which remains unique in its scale.
Screening followed by a discussion with Carolina Gonzalez (La Carologie), video artist and feminist activist.
Topic of the Session: The fight for gender equality
