The Woods Hole Film Festival’s popular series, “Dinner and a Movie” presents the untold story of one single day that catapulted Iceland to the best country in the world for women ranking first on the gender parity index year after year since.

When 90 percent of Iceland’s women walked out of their homes and off the job one morning in 1975, they brought their country to a standstill and catapulted their small island nation to the world’s superpower of gender equality. Unexpectedly funny and told for the first time by the women who lived it, “The Day Iceland Stood Still” is the story of ordinary women who managed to do the unimaginable.

Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $16, $12 for members and $10 student/military $10. Tickets HERE and at the door if they are not sold out in advance.

Before the screening, ticket holders can receive a discount on the meal portion of dinner at the Captain Kidd Restaurant and Bar and Quahog Republic Leeside Pub in Woods Hole.
