"I tire so of hearing people say,

Let things take their course.

Tomorrow is another day.

I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.

I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.

            Freedom

            Is a strong seed

            Planted

            In a great need.

            I live here, too.

            I want my freedom

            Just as you."


- Freedom by Langston Hughes


Celebrate the widespread and long-standing strength and resilience of women in this powerful block of films focused on and highlighting women's liberation. Have your spirit inflamed by these impactful stories, told with honesty and humor, that showcase the journeys, struggles, and triumphs of women, inspiring audiences to reflect on where we are in the fight for equality and empowerment for Black women across the globe.

Tired of being overlooked all her life, WAKS, a snarky, religious country girl—whose inner voice reminds her everyday just how fat she is and my goodness no wonder she is still a virgin (!)—hires a male sex worker to deflower her on the night of her 25th birthday.
