Gentle, Angry Women
The Studio Theatre, Moffat, DG10 9AH
Sunday 28th June 2026
Unaware of the longest female-led protest in British history, a new generation of young female activists is standing up to fight for the issues of their time, while also navigating the challenges of being teenagers and finding their place in a turbulent world.
We meet Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) as they discover the largely overlooked Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, where thousands of women lived for 19 years protesting against nuclear missiles.
Retracing the original 110-mile march, the young women embark on an intimate intergenerational exchange, revealing a journey of self-discovery and a timely story of feminist activism confronting the alarming reality of British nuclear armament.
Gentle, Angry Women is a poignant and timely documentary weaving together personal discovery, historical remembrance and contemporary activism. It responds to the rising global tensions of our time while celebrating the enduring power of women’s collective action — revealing a bridge between past courage and present hope.
Following the screening, we’ll be joined online for a Q&A with Documentary Director and Creative Producer Barbara Santi.
Please note: To make the most of our live Q&A with filmmaker Barbara Santi after the screening, the film will begin promptly at 2pm. Please arrive a few minutes early if you can.
As with all What If? Film Club screenings, the afternoon will be relaxed and welcoming:

Film Club is a Make/Change Collective project.
