It’s 25 years since Nuclear Information Service was founded by Di McDonald, a Greenham Common woman, who still serves as a Board Member. We’re celebrating by joining with Aldermaston Women’s Peace Camp and Reading International Festival to host this uplifting story of three young peace women.
‘A new generation of young female activists uncovers a powerful, often overlooked chapter of women’s history and the alarming reality of British nuclear armament. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women – Poppy, Xanthe, and Evie – embark on a journey of discovery, following in the footsteps of over 30,000 women who forty years earlier united in peaceful, liberating protest, the remarkable Greenham Common Women’s Peace Movement.’
This coming-of-age documentary, driven by intergenerational dialogue, bridges past courage and present hope, speaking to the need for action and change.
