Miss World 1970: The launch of a revolution

A spirited, ensemble-driven comedy-drama about feminist activists disrupting the 1970 Miss World pageant, balancing humor and conviction with genuine warmth toward its characters.

A group of women involved in the Women's Liberation Movement hatched a plan to invade the stage and disrupt the live broadcast at the 1970 Miss World competition in London, resulting in overnight fame for the newly-formed organization. When the show resumed, the results caused an uproar and turned the Western ideal of beauty on its head.
