![[Translate to English:] Unite for Bissau](/fileadmin/_processed_/5/f/csm_Unite_for_Bissau_1b6cdc7c82.png?1728923238)
In the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau, this thought-provoking film takes you on a journey that follows brave local women who defy norms, assert their role through agroecology, stand up against female genital mutilation and forced marriage while challenging patriarchy across the board by building institutions that promote self-sufficiency. Carrying forward the legacy of Amílcar Cabral, the Bissau-Guinean independence leader who included women’s rights at the center of the struggle for liberation, the women of a rising generation are taking their power back.
A Cultures of Resistance film. Directed & produced by iara lee, camera & editing by João Meirinhos.
