I watched that movie at nobu projects in antalya during feminist movie festivals. It was in june.

I tried to remember and i also had notes so i keep writing from them for this review.



Women had privileges but when men protested, the women gave up it. Why?

It seems they have a black president but not black privilege.

Bike protest was not so strong but government made it a big deal. Interesting.

We see how people who need to be united can be divided. Workers, feminists. But then feminists go together. Radio and army. And a big protest happens.

I think there is only lesbian as LGBTIQ+, not other people. I did not see.

We see how media tries to manipulate the people. Media talks about always past. How past was bad and how today is good. Just like in turkey. Media tries to make people sleep.

So radio and music becomes powerful. Against that patriarchal media.

The songs, those nice funky songs is one of the things that stayed in my mind. Also great music and how women found the answer in violence. Because there were no choices. It is 10 years after revolution, which was supposed to bring equality but it did not change anything for except straight males.

There were lots of referrings to real things. Like black panther party - explosion in the end.

Florynce Kennedy was great as zella. So does Adele Bertei as isabel.

I need to watch this movie again. It is great feminist-revolutionary movie. I give 9/10!
