Against patriarchy and war - Rojava women build their own future
In war-torn Syria, something unexpected is emerging: hope. In the midst of ruins, threats and deprivation, women in Rojava are asserting themselves with remarkable determination. They are founding villages, teaching children, setting up workshops - and defending not only their lives, but also a vision of freedom and equality.
Director Robert Krieg shows the everyday survival and extraordinary courage of self-empowerment in a region that receives little attention worldwide. A moving documentary about the quiet but unstoppable awakening of a new society - carried by women.
Following the film, we invite you to a discussion with the director Robert Krieg. Let's talk together about how the protagonists are fighting for a self-determined life and the construction of a peaceful future - beyond patriarchal structures and despite the most adverse circumstances.
