Synopsis
Between March and October 2000, millions of people around the world took to the streets to denounce poverty and violence against women. The historic World March of Women was a bold initiative of the Québec Federation of Women and represented a turning point in global solidarity. Inspired and carried by this movement, A Score for Women’s Voices takes us, to the rhythm of a song, to relive the highlights of these events and to discover new projects developed by women on five continents, presenting women’s fundamental proposal to change the world.
A word from Tënk
Those who remember will tell you that turn of the millennium brought a renewed sense of optimism about the future that laid ahead of us. New century, new start; all the cards are on the table, let's rebuild the world of tomorrow.
A Score for Women's Voices by filmmaker Sophie Bissonnette perfectly embodies this sense of boundless optimism that emanated from that era. Although the world these women dreamed of a quarter of a century ago has not entirely materialized, at least not fully, let's take the opportunity to revisit the creation of this ensemble film. On the menu: a unifying act of creation, made on a global scale and overflowing with humanity.
For a brief moment, cynicism will wait.
