This documentary focuses on Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip, who tell the story of their curtailed lives. With unflinching frankness, they speak of abductions into marriage at 12 years of age, of dreams of education and career smashed by annual pregnancy, of weaning daughters early so as to conceive a male child, of acid thrown in the faces of women who go out unveiled, of a husband shared by several wives, one of them a "feminist". The women in stories are seared into the mind's eyes, unforgettable in their dignity and force of character - against all odds. |
