In January, 2003, Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower organized readings of the ancient Greek play, Lysistrata, to protest the imminent preemptive war on Iraq. Word of the Lysistrata Project exploded across the Internet and six weeks later, on March 3, 2003, over 1,000 simultaneous productions were performed in 59 countries around the globe. This 2,400 year-old play uncannily mirrors strong women who dare to speak out against the hypocrisy of war while facing ridicule and accusations of treason from the powers of male-dominated government. As the famous and ordinary alike joined together in a worldwide chorus of dissent, this inspiring film demonstrates the power of theatre as a tool for change. NOTE: This film contains adult content.
