Pamela Hogan’s ‘The Day Iceland Stood Still,’ About 1975 Women’s Strike, Debuts Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
Variety has been given exclusive access to the trailer for 'The Day Iceland Stood Still,' ahead of the film's world premiere at Hot Docs.
The film features a rare interview with Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the world’s first democratically-elected female head of state, who took office just five years after the strike, and current president Guðni Th. Hogan comments: “I discovered this story seven years ago in a sidebar of the ‘Lonely Planet’ guide on a family trip to Iceland and raced to my computer to find the film that must have been made about it.” First Lady of Iceland, Canadian Eliza Reid, who saw the fine-cut at a sneak preview screening in Reykjavik, calls it “uplifting, compelling, humorous, and most of all, inspiring — just like the women who feature in this story.”
