‘Woman’

In the presence of the directors, Anastasia Mikova and Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
​​​​​​​
Woman was born of a desire to see the world through a woman’s eyes. This film will take us to all four corners of the world to meet the only people who can tell us: all the women with such vastly different lives, shaped by their culture, their faith and their family history. Woman will first and foremost reflect the state of today’s world. The reflection is often a sombre one, given the injustices to which women are subjected. Above all, though, the film is a message of love and hope to all the women of the world, an attempt to understand their lives and to measure how far they have come and how far they still have to go. So how are we going to get there?
