Documentary about Iceland's 1975 women's strike, followed by a panel discussion.
Automatically translated from German
The film documents a historic day in 1975 when about 90 per cent of Icelandic women stopped their paid and unpaid work, bringing the country to a standstill. Through archival material and testimonies from activists, it traces the organisation and impact of the strike. After the screening, activists from different generations discuss care work, social inequality and feminist strikes. The film draws parallels to current debates in Switzerland.
