The City Was Ours

Radical feminism in the 1970s

The City Was Ours — Plot

The lesbian movement in the Netherlands was a driving force within Dutch feminism and came into full force in the 1970s. From demonstrations to squatting actions, from opening women’s cafes, bookstores, funding collectives to print shops, women were taking back the street and the city. A whole cultural paradigm shift caught in this documentary, with interviews, historic images and film material.
