A word from Tënk
Feminism is dead… Long live feminism! This documentary, produced by Vidéo Femmes, offers a reflection and exchange of opinions on a renewed and sadly necessary feminism. Punctuated by original and dynamic animations, director Rozenn Potin's film introduces us to young feminists who share their journeys and experiences. All of them aim to contribute to a better world. Geneviève, Barbara, Pascale, Coco, and Marco are all committed and speak about feminism as an alternative, a pathway to equality, advocating for abortion rights and promoting diverse models that allow individuals to reinvent their own identities. Today's feminism is different from that of the 1970s: it challenges heterosexism, binary divisions, and, as Coco puts it, proposes a "galaxy of genders." Being a feminist means standing against the oppression and injustices women face… and no one is excluded. This lively documentary features powerful testimonies and visuals that truly showcase feminism in action.
