Upcoming INLUS Webinar – The Making of the Long Friday

The Making of The Long Friday.

On October 24, 1975, the women of Iceland went on strike – they refused to work, cook, and look after children for a day. It was a moment that changed the way women were seen in the country and helped put Iceland at the forefront of the fight for equality.

Award winning film maker Pamela Hogan learned of this Women’s Day and felt that this history needed to be recorded.  Working with Icelandic filmmaker Hrafnhildur (Hrabba) Gunnarsdóttir, the film in now in its final editing with a release date expected in March 2023.
