Picture it: October 24, 1975. Ninety percent of Iceland’s women walked off their jobs, out of their kitchens, and away from their routines — all at once. The country stopped. And the world was never quite the same.

The Day Iceland Stood Still tells this remarkable true story with unexpected humor, stunning animation, and the voices of the women who lived it. It’s a film about twelve hours that launched decades of change — and a reminder that collective action can move mountains.

“Unexpectedly funny, laced with evocative animation, and powerfully told by the women who lived it.”

After the film, we’ll gather for a panel conversation that goes beyond the screen — because the questions this story raises about equality, solidarity, and power are very much alive today.

Come for the documentary. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something to think about — and people to think about it with.
