VIDEO: Watch the New Trailer for MOTHERS OF THE REVOLUTION Starring Glenda Jackson

On September 5th, 1981 a group of women came together to change the world. These women marched from Wales to Berkshire to protest over nuclear weapons being kept at RAF Greenham Common. The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp that followed, challenged world leaders, altering the course of history and went on to inspire millions as the world's first and biggest female-only demonstration, preceded only by the suffragettes.

Mothers of the Revolution, a feature-length documentary that tells the story of the extraordinary women behind the Greenham Common Peace Camp, heads to the USA this Fall.

Narrated by Glenda Jackson and featuring interviews with key participants including Julie Christie and Rebecca Johnson, alongside archive footage from the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, Mothers of the REVOLUTION takes you through one of the longest protests in history, when between 1981 and 2000, thousands of women from around the world came together at Greenham Common to take a committed stand against nuclear proliferation.

An Academy-award winning actress and Labour MP for 23 years, during Glenda Jackson's political career she was known for her energetic commitment to a number of causes - most notably social exclusion and transport. Since returning to acting in 2015, Jackson has gone on to win a Tony, a BAFTA and an International Emmy.

Forty years ago, these everyday human beings began with that first step on their march to Greenham Common and became the heroes of a movement that changed the world.

Directed by Briar March (Coffin Club, There Once Was An Island) and produced by prolific filmmaker Matthew Metcalfe (The Dead Lands, McLaren) and Leela Menon (Born Racer, Wayne).
