Gentle, Angry Women + Q&A12A

Directed by Barbara Santi | UK | 2025 | 1h 3m + 30m Q&A

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. Barbara Santi’s documentary follows Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) as they discover the overlooked story of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, where thousands of women lived for 19 years in protest against nuclear missiles.

As they retrace the original 110-mile march to Greenham, the three young activists connect with the women who came before them. Through this intergenerational exchange, they explore what activism means today, confront the renewed threat of British nuclear armament, and reflect on their own identities and beliefs. Gentle, Angry Women is a moving and timely documentary about memory, resistance, and the enduring power of feminist activism.

International Women’s Day for Peace and Disarmament screening followed by a Q&A (guests TBC).

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
