What if every woman simply took the day off?

October 24, 1975: 90% of women in Iceland walked off the job and out of their homes one fall morning, refusing to work, cook or take care of the children. They brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to "the best place to be a woman today."

This award-winning film about the collective power of women to transform their society will inspire you to re-imagine the possible!

With special guests Rosá Thorgrímsdóttir, who participated actively in the entire event, and, by video, Hafdis Karlsdóttir, President of Soroptimist International of Europe.

The Globe and Mail: ". . . a worldwide Cri de Coeur! . . . the overriding mood of the film is joy!"

Cineuropa: ". . . a compelling, fast-paced story that easily resonates with women today"

ScreenFish: "There's a playfulness within this film that is both enthusiastic and infectious. As momentum begins to grow, the buzz across the nation builds as these women begin to realize the power that they truly possess. In this way, Hogan's film serves as an inspirational piece to all women."
