In 2012, two biology students created fecomagnetism, a parody of pseudotherapies that claimed to cure all kinds of diseases by mixing poop with magnets. All they wanted was a funny review, but shit gets out of hand. How long would it take for people to realize that it was all fake?

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.
