Women Against the Bomb + Q&ACert-TBC

Sonia Gonzalez | UK | 2023 | 58m + 30m Q&A

The inspirational story of the first all-female peace camp of Greenham Common, told from the inside by the women who were there. The protest camp began in England in 1981 to block the installation of nuclear weapons on European soil, marking the dawn of a global ecofeminist movement. Women Against the Bomb is Sonia Gonzalez’s prize-winning documentary about the impact of the Greenham Women, reflected through interviews and footage from women who took action and never looked back.

Join us for a one-off screening followed by a Q&A with Greenham child and author of ‘Out of the Darkness’ Rebecca Mordan as well as other Greenham Women who will discuss their first hand experiences of Greenham Common. 

Common Ground is a series of events made possible thanks to support from Heritage Fund as part of a project to map the impact of the Greenham Common Peace Camp on the women who inhabited it and the communities they returned to.
