About Gentle, Angry Women (12A)

A new generation of young female activists awakens to a powerful, forgotten chapter of women’s history. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, Poppy, Xanthe and Evie discover the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Movement, the ground-breaking protest that saw 30,000 women stand up against nuclear armament 40 years before.
