All over the world, millions of women endure violence for no reason other than that they are women. Some of them find the strength to escape from sexual slavery, genital mutilation, forced abortion of female foetuses, honour crimes or domestic violence. They proclaim their rights and win enduring struggles. They are Women of Courage. By following their struggles in India, Mali, Kurdistan, Turkey, Thailand and France, the film reveals the strength of these women, as they are faced with resistance from the patriarchal system and its chief alibi: tradition.
The screening of the film will be preceded by the opening ceremony of the 2014 International Documentary Film Competition.
Followed by a discussion with Céline Verbrouck (lawyer, president of Intact, Ligue des droits de l’Homme) and Eric Guéret (filmmaker).
