Interesting facts

Carry Greenham Home is a 1983 documentary about the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp created by Beeban Kidron and Amanda Richardson. It bears the same name as the song by Peggy Seeger. It is considered "the first full-length documentary of a protest camp as a site of ongoing protest and daily living or re-creation."

Production

Kidron and Richardson began recording video for a university course as film students in December 1982 and stayed at the camp to record for seven months, but only assembled the footage in summer 1983, prompted by negative media coverage of the camp.
