2. Peace Train to Beijing
Directed by Robin Lloyd | Documentary | 30 mins | 1995
The WILPF (Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom) journey through Asia on their way to the Beijing conference. A fun and fascinating women's “road trip” through towns and villages as they learn to live with each other on the train for several weeks. For many this was a feminist awakening and certainly the trip of a lifetime.
Followed by Q&A with Robin Lloyd
