In North America, the widely-held impression of the Third World includes the idea that women's rights are non-existent and the treatment of women and children are abhorrent. Well, this film repatriates those notions, and shows that women's rights are not always so assured in Canada or the US.
The film is a wake-up call, and also a celebration of several heroines in the struggle for the recognition and equality of women throughout our society. The film may bring you to tears, but it leaves you with a profound sense of hope.
