Return Sasyk to the Sea
The former Soviet Union orchestrated amazing infrastructure projects on a grand scale - yet the Soviet Union has long since collapsed, and with it the dam in Sasyk. One community in southern Ukraine takes on corruption, politics, and environmental damage to help a lake that wants to return to the sea. Follow the journey of these activists as they relentlessly confront bureaucrats and poachers and work to protect and restore this ecosystem.
Gendered Peace: The Legacy of the Tokyo Women's Tribunal
Twenty one years ago, the Women's International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan's Military Sexual Slavery took place in Tokyo, Japan. If you’ve never heard of the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal, then this documentary is for you. Yes, it documents the horrific crimes committed against women forced into sexual slavery during WWII. But it also illustrates the power and impact of organizing for justice, giving women a voice, and bringing history out of the shadows. The women still living never thought they would see this day. Honor them by learning their story.

What we love (from a screener): This is a very powerful piece. It is educational, enlightening and empowering. It is a film that reinforces the purpose of UN Women.


This film will play with the feature film, RETURN SASYK TO THE SEA.
