Carry Greenham Home

Documentary.

In partnership with POW! Festival
This iconic film documents the lives of those at the women's peace camp at Greenham Common, Berkshire. Filmed in 1983 its depiction of the women involved in the peace movement contrasts greatly with media portraits of the time, and subsequent collective memory. Thirty thousand women formed a human chain to Aldermaston in 1983, the Greenham Common Peace Camp was a shining example of non-violent feminist action, changing both lives and laws. “The women of Greenham Common taught a generation how to protest,” noted Beeban Kidron, who made this, her first film, while living on-site with co-director Amanda Richardson.
Shot on video, its depiction of the courage, creativity and humour of the Greenham women remains a seminal work of British feminism on film.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with some very special guests (to be announced very shortly).
