This film festival is a celebration of uncensored and unapologetic voices from feminists and their allies under the theme INVINCIBLE AND UNSILENCED: WOMEN IN THE WORLD.
The films will be made available online from March 8 - April 5, 2017 exclusively on the Women’s Voices Now website for FREE.
“In this distinct curation of selected films we see women of all colors and walks of life protecting themselves and their communities from the adverse economic, social, cultural, and political challenges humankind faces in the 21st century. Witnessing these stories through the medium of film creates solidarity toward the common goals of women’s rights, respected and dignified on a global scale,” says Heidi Basch - Harod, executive director of Women’s Voices Now.
The 36 films featured in the INVINCIBLE AND UNSILENCED: WOMEN IN THE WORLD film festival program portray intimate glimpses into the difficulties experienced by women and the victories that highlight a common thread of perseverance and persistence in the face of adversity. From the rural communities of Brazil, Nepal, and Kenya, to the urban centers of Tehran, London, and Fukushima, these are the realities women champion every day.
