Girls & Gods

In a taboo-breaking personal journey, Inna Shevchenko (FEMEN) meets extraordinary, inspiring women, some of which are fighting against religion, others defend religion, and surprisingly many, are fighting to reform religion. They all are united by one belief: Women are magnificent. No god – neither in heaven nor on earth – may deprive them of their rights or subordinate them to men. They are determined to ensure this, no matter the cost.
