Gentle, Angry Women is about the incredible Greenham Common Women's Peace Protest rediscovered through the eyes of three inspirational young female activists. Unaware of the longest female-led protest in British history, a new generation of young female activists is standing up to fight for the issues of their time, as well as being teenagers and finding their place in a turbulent world.
We meet Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) as they discover the largely overlooked Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, where thousands of women lived for 19 years protesting nuclear missiles. Retracing their original 110-mile march, the young women embark on a unique intergenerational exchange with their activist counterparts, revealing a journey of self-discovery and a timely narrative of feminist activism. A coming-of-age documentary that sparks urgent conversations about hope, action and change.
