This month Join Feminist Film Club and South Cheshire and North Staffs Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament for a special screening of Carrying Greenham Home, a feature-length documentary filmed on site over seven months by Amanda Richardson and Beeban Kidron

“We fear for the future of all our children, and for the future of the living world, which is the basis of all life.”

In early September 1981, a group of women from Wales, Women for Life on Earth, arrived at Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. They had marched all the way from Cardiff to oppose the housing of 96 Cruise nuclear missiles there.

This was the beginning of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, which saw thousands of women joining in occupation and protest outside the RAF airbase.
