12 December 1982. 30,000 women surround the US army base at Greenham Common, which is being used to store nuclear warheads. Women sing songs and dance. There are black and white stills of the perimeter protests, with women tying ribbons and photographs of their families to the fence in front of army personnel. A woman reads out a newspaper report of the protest to a crowd of women peace activists. Later, women are dragged away by police during a sit-in blockade of the base.

A depiction of the women involved in the peace movement contrasts greatly with media portraits of the time, and the subsequent collective memory.
