screening schedule
Six films were edited into a single 44-minute film for
broadcast on the BBC-a thought-provoking look at the role women in
various countries are playing in order to solve the twin problems of population
and development.
The stories include: women in India who are demanding the
basic services they need for a dignified life; women in Uganda who are calling
for a halt to the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation; a second wife
working endless jobs in Kenya to afford school and hope for her children;
teenage pregancy and machismo in Peru; industrial employment in Indonesia;
and the status of women on postwar Cambodia.
