Already unlocked? for access

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 experiencing unthinkable sexual violence while trying to become the first woman to motorcycle offroad across the Americas, Vasilisa Komarova succeeds, against all odds, in getting justice. In doing so, she scores a victory for women worldwide, then she continues on her journey.
