Women Are Heroes (2010)
Directed by Jr.

Documentary

Film Synopsis

From Brazil to Cambodia, this documentary shows how women across the world face up to the challenges of their everyday lives.  In India, we see how women cope with being torn between ancestral traditions and the demands of modern life; in Kenya, we see women struggling with the chaos that surrounds them; in Cambodia, we see how a matriarchal system is threatened by the new socio-economic reality.  In every case, we are surprised by the resilience and courage shown by women everywhere...
