Stonethrowers unearths the overlooked role of women in the 1916 miners’ strike on the Greek island of Serifos, a pivotal uprising that led to the establishment of the eight-hour workday in Greece. At its heart is Aikaterini Valsamaki, a key yet largely forgotten figure of the rebellion at the Mega Livadi iron mines, who was imprisoned for her defiance. The film weaves memory, myth and feminist defiance, linking the stone-throwing women to the petrifying power of Medusa’s gaze, engraved in the island’s landscape.
