Progressive Needham and the Center at the Heights are pleased to present an exclusive screening of the award-winning documentary, The Day Iceland Stood Still.  The film is an iconic depiction of a successful social strike.  The day in 1975 that 90% of women in Iceland ‘took the day off’ rocked the nation and began a movement that has propelled the country from the bottom to the top of world gender equality indexes.  The documentary uses personal stories and animation to show how this massive, humorous, and urgent act of solidarity launched Iceland into a global leader of gender equality.  Stay for a conversation with Fredie Kay from the Women’s History Center and Deb Paul from Neighborhood United Indivisible following the film.
