Women Talking – Il diritto di scegliere

Film in Italian by Sarah Polley - Canada 2022 - 104'. As part of the film series W le women. Mairania 857 in collaboration with Upad. Free entry.

A religious community splits in two: on one side are the men, some of whom (perhaps all?) have narcotized and then raped 'females' of all ages, leaving them emotionally and physically damaged or even pregnant, so much so that one of them has chosen suicide; on the other are the women and older girls, gathered in a barn to decide how to react to what has happened. There are three options: to forgive, in accordance with the dictates of the faith; to fight the rapists; or to leave the community and move elsewhere.
