STRORIES OF WOMEN FROM MY COUNTRY

Directed and produced by the artist, writer, director, activist, citizen and mother Raquel Freire,  the TRILOGY "STORIES OF WOMEN FROM MY COUNTRY" are testimonies of life, of resistance, of dignity, which move us, challenge us, which sometimes make us laugh and sometimes make us gulp.
It is a plural and multifaceted portrait of the women who inhabit our country: factory workers and researchers, fisherwomen and cleaners, farmers and caregivers, firefighters and dancers, businesswomen and writers, students and community leaders, young people breaking new ground in rap or less young. doing it on environmental issues, trans women, lesbian women, women with different abilities, white women, black women, gypsies. Women. In each one, a story where multiple oppressions intersect, in each subject a singularity that is also the synthesis of multiple social determinations. As a whole, a portrait of the country, the structures, the inequalities, but also intelligence, courage, emancipation, the struggle for happiness.
