A block of short documentaries about and by women from all over the world, offering thought-provoking stories about the way we remember history, the communities we create both intentionally and serendipitously, and the pursuit of justice. They transport us to a town whose old west brothels only closed thirty years ago, a farm where two sisters put their generational knowledge to use, to the new homes of six resilient and determined Syrian women, a museum in New York where an indigenous ethnographer visiting from Brazil processes what she’s seeing, and to the open road, where a record-setting motorcyclist fights for justice for her sexual assault.
After nearly a decade of conflict, Syrian refugee women are some of the most vulnerable amid the crisis. Thousands have lost their families and husbands, and now must provide for their children, alone in an unfamiliar country. In this short film, six Syrian women living in Jordan recount their personal stories of survival – from displacement, child-marriage, and trauma, to their resilience and hope to rebuild a better future for their children.
