How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An epic, unflinching chronicle of one woman's journey across continents seeking freedom and autonomy in the face of systematic oppression. The pacing allows space for both the brutality of her circumstances and the quiet dignity of her resistance.
