This powerful documentary - built from interviews with the young women who led the protests - doesn't just chart the story of the movement, it brings to life their experiences facing authority figures, dodging teachers and parents, mobilising in the streets and overall discovering their power. In hard times these stories of young people defending their right to learn, of winning, are so necessary as we seek to rebuild our community power - join us for this important reflection on feminism, the fight for better schooling, youth power and the chance to celebrate the coming of age of a generation.
Plus we'll have an amazing short panel afterwards with 2 young community activists: Meg and Uma and County Council lead for Education Natalie Rothwell-Warn to reflect and discuss what they are doing (and we can all do!) to transform education for the better - see you there!
