The Day Iceland Stood Still

When 90% of the women of Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one October morning in 1975, refusing to work, cook, or take care of the children, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the “best place in the world to be a woman.” Told for the first time by the women themselves, laced with playful animation and music from Björk, the story is subversive and unexpectedly funny. Perfect for the 50th anniversary of the „women´s strike“ in 2025 and a timeless masterpiece for any International Women´s Day event.
