Unite For Bissau: Agroecology And Feminism In Guinea Bissau

Unite For Bissau: Agroecology And Feminism In Guinea Bissau

This thought-provoking film takes you on a journey in the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau and 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.
