My Prince Edward
Shop clerk Cheung Lei Fong works at a small shopping mall in Hong Kong that specializes in wedding-related shops. Fong gets engaged to Edward, her boyfriend of seven years and the owner of a bridal photography store, but she's hiding a secret. Years ago, she was paid to marry a young Chinese man who wanted a Hong Kong ID so he could travel to the United States.
Ahead of the Curve
This is the story of one of the most influential women in lesbian history you’ve never heard of and the impact her work continues to have today. Growing up, Franco Stevens never saw any representation of queer women—she didn’t even know it was possible for a woman to be gay. When she realized she was a lesbian, it changed the course of her life.
The Dilemma of Desire
Filmmaker Maria Finitzo explores how patriarchal forces have stigmatized female sexuality for centuries, and highlights the pleasure-focused activists fighting to set new sex-positive standards.
A Girl from Mogadishu
Circumcised at eight. Raped by wandering militiamen at twelve. Fully infibulated again at thirteen, and then married off to a fifty-year-old man who regularly beat her; Ifrah Ahmed escapes war-torn Somalia in this true story and emerges as one of the world’s foremost international activists against the gender-based violence of FGM/C.
Edge of the Line
A small group of indigenous women establish a peaceful camp in protest of the $3.8 billion oil pipeline construction that threatens their land, water, and very existence. When their camp’s population exceeds 10,000, the women unwittingly find themselves the leaders of a global movement.
Represent
This work of art is equal parts personal and political, journeying through life on and off the campaign trail to tell the stories of female candidates from vastly different communities, support systems, and political parties. The politics may be local, but for these women, the stakes are high.
