Synopsis
In the 1970s, women in the Netherlands took to the streets, demanding their rights and reshaping public spaces. Activists organized demonstrations, squatted buildings, and opened women’s cafes and bookstores. The City Was Ours features interviews and archival footage that document this vibrant lesbian movement and its role in Dutch feminism. The film illustrates how these collective actions led to the establishment of funding collectives and print shops, empowering women to reclaim their city and assert their presence in society.
