Ce documentaire raconte l'histoire d'un village kényan, Umoja. Pendant près de 30 ans, des centaines de femmes vivant à Umoja disent avoir été violées par des soldats britanniques dans le nord du Kenya. Accusées d'avoir apporté la honte sur leur communauté, elles se font battre et répudier par leur maris. Une poignée d'entre elles créent Umoja, un village interdit aux hommes qui devient le refuge des femmes samburu. Des hommes jaloux attaquent régulièrement le village et posent des problèmes à sa fondatrice Rebecca Lolosoli.

Née à Sokone en 1926, Annette Mbaye d’Erneville, la mère du réalisateur William Mbaye, fut la première journaliste du Sénégal. Elle s’est très tôt sentie concernée par le développement de son pays. Militante de la première heure pour la cause de l'émancipation des femmes, elle est à la fois une pionnière et une anti conformiste. Elle a partagé sa vie entre la France, où elle a étudié, et le Sénégal, où elle est retournée en 1957, pressentant que le temps de l’Indépendance était arrivé.

The documentary combines archival material with contemporary stories, juxtaposing scenes from the 1967 Royal Commission on the Status of Women with the 2nd Pan-Canadian Young Feminist Gathering in 2011 in Winnipeg, organized by the rebELLEs movement. It explores the progress made on concerns raised 45 years ago: universal childcare, violence against women and abortion access.

Jordana Horn in The Jewish Daily Forward states that: Budrus [is] a documentary by Julia Bacha that examines one West Bank town’s reaction to Israel’s construction of the security barrier. The town, with a population of 1,500, was set to be divided and encircled by the barrier, losing 300 acres of land and 3,000 olive trees. These trees were not only critical for economic survival but also sacred to the town’s intergenerational history. The film tells the story of Ayed Morrar, a Palestinian whose work for Fatah had led to five detentions in Israeli jails, but whose momentous strategic decision that the barrier would be best opposed by nonviolent resistance had far-reaching ramifications.

Peut-on croire qu’au XXIème siècle, des hommes exigent le retour aux valeurs ancestrales du patriarcat : les femmes à la cuisine et les hommes au pouvoir ? Peut-on imaginer que des jeunes femmes instruites recherchent un « compagnon dominant » ? Que penser d’hommes qui subissent une opération d’allongement du pénis, « comme on achète une grosse voiture » ? Si ces tendances peuvent de prime abord sembler marginales, le film nous démontre que nos attitudes collent rarement à nos discours. L’illusion de l’égalité cache un abîme d’injustices quotidiennes que nous ne voulons plus voir. Et où chacun joue un rôle.

Built at the dawn of the 20th century, the neighborhood of Garden City was a small residential area bordering on downtown Cairo, Egypt, where international political leaders had their residences. Giran walks us through this neighborhood as it is nowadays. Abandoned mansions, luxurious salons, embassies, shops or rooftops, where a whole family lives. The houses and their occupants, witnesses of the changes in History, tell tales of break-ups, hopes and survival.
