The Day Iceland Stood Still

October 24, 1975 On a fall morning in 1975, 90% of Iceland's women walked off the job and out of their homes, refusing to work, cook, or care for children. They brought their country to a standstill and propelled Iceland toward becoming what it is today: "the best place in the world to be a woman." Perfectly timed for release ahead of the strike's 50th anniversary in 2025, the film's message about the collective power of women to transform society inspires viewers to reimagine what is possible!
