My Review and Thoughts: Twenty years ago, I was twenty six. I started watching Smallville back when I was around sixteen years old. I loved the show and it's storyline so much, that I never missed an episode! The relationship between Clark and his parents was neat to see. I especially liked that John Schneider was his father in this series. I have followed him since he was on The Dukes of Hazzard TV show. I can't wait to dig into the bonus features listed below!

Mothers of the Revolution - Movie Review #MothersoftheRevolution

"If  you always sit in your little box and you always do as you're told, and you don't ever question anything. and if you don't ever try and change anything then you're perfectly safe. And I had been perfectly safe. It was the first time ever, I'd said NO in a major way. In any way." 

October 19th release of MOTHERS OF THE REVOLUTION featuring Julie Christie, Rose McGowan, Lucy Lawless, Karmen Thomas, Chris Drake, Olga Medvedkov & Nobel Peace Prize Winner Rebecca Johnson, with narration by Glenda Jackson and directing by Briar March. 

The all new feature documentary tells the story of the extraordinary women behind the Greenham Common Peace Camp. 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.

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.

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).




BIOS

Rose McGowan - An actress and activist named one of TIME's Silence Breakers, Rose McGowan appears in MOTHERS OF THE REVOLUTION. 

Glenda Jackson (narrator) – An Academy-award winning actress and Labour MP for 23 years, during Glenda’s political career she was known for her energetic commitment to a number of causes - most notably social exclusion and transport.

Rebecca Johnson – Greenham peace women and Noble Peace Prize Winner, Rebecca lived at the camp for 6+ years during which she was involved in all of the major actions and was often in media. In particular, Rebecca climbed the air traffic control tower and broke into the main operating room. After the INF treaty was signed, she attended a Pugwash conference where she witnessed Gorbechev give credit to the women at Greenham Common and their direct influence on him during his negotiations with Reagan. After Greenham, Rebecca went on to receive a Noble Peace Prize for her work with ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) establishing an international ban to rid Nuclear Weapons for good. Since Greenham, her fight against nuclear weapons has continued.

Chris Drake - After her first visit to Greenham her life was changed forever, never before had she felt more connected with her true self.

Karmen Thomas - Involved in the conception of original March/ makes a trip to Russia to meet with the Moscow Group for Trust and bravely challenges Soviet authorities. Returns to Russia a second time with a group of 30 women from Greenham. Visits Greenham regularly for all major actions.

Olga Medvedkov - Russian Trust Member who attends a meeting with Karmen, Ann, and Jean at the Official Peace Committee.

My Review and Thoughts: This is extremely powerful! Brilliant and wonderfully done! These women wanted to make a better world for their children and for their families. Many of the women were at the camp for months, or a few years. It took them not standing down to make the world change. Every person needs to see this film.

This rings true with what's going on in our world today. We need to start standing up for what we know is right with our kids, schools, and a certain jab. If we don't, we will soon lose our freedoms. Even if you have gotten the jab, you and your family will also suffer. More lock downs, more restrictions, forever wearing a mask. This is not okay, and this is not normal. We need to start staging protests, sit-ins, walk-outs, and more! And one day just won't cut it! It needs to be for days or weeks at a time, or more, for however long it takes to gain attention.
