WOMAN
 |
Woman is a feature-length documentary based on the writings, lectures and life of Nobel Prize nominee and activist Bouthaina Shaaban. The film journeys back to Bouthaina's beginning as a schoolgirl in a small obscure Syrian village to her evolution into an advocate for female equality and top international politician representing her country.
We follow her as she fearlessly advances the cause of rights for Arab women, from securing formal acknowledgments throughout the Arab world that women should be afforded basic human rights, to waging an international battle defending the integrity of the real Arab female. |
Her accomplishments are all the more impressive as they are carried out simply with the firm hand of diplomacy and the power of her pen.
