When Women Won

Film available from 3:00PM ET on SUNDAY, MARCH 21

When Women Won tells the emotional inside story of the Together for Yes campaign to repeal the 8th amendment and change Irish society forever. In the aftermath of the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar, three Irish feminists joined forces and set about establishing a grassroots, women-led social movement. Working with teams in every county in Ireland, they ultimately delivered a landslide victory. Compelling and insightful, this documentary brings you back to the highs and lows of the tumultuous campaign, and captures the most seismic shift in Irish society in the past 35 years.

When Women Won is directed by IFTA award winning Filmmaker Anna Rodgers (Somebody to Love, The Story of Yes, The Yellow Bittern - The Life and Times of Liam Clancy) and produced by Emmy Award winning producer Zlata Filipovic (The Farthest) and Hugh Rodgers (The Story of Yes).

The team previously made the IFTA nominated film The Story of Yes about the marriage equality referendum in Ireland.
