Meet “the 35s”, a daring group of housewives and mothers from Dublin and London who defied the Soviets at the height of the Cold War to help secure the release of refuseniks and paved the way for the liberation of many Soviet Jews. The film surprises at every turn with their creative and unconventional methods–from organizing protests to partnering with a secret Israeli government agency to facilitate clandestine trips behind the Iron Curtain. Now in their 80s, they talk about how their grassroots activism yielded tangible results and attracted supporters such as Laurence Olivier, Ingrid Bergman and Jane Fonda.
