(Austria, Switzerland / 2025 / 105’)

Inna Shevchenko, feminist activist and leader of FEMEN, meets extraordinary women who approach religion from opposite perspectives: some challenge it, others defend it, and many reform it from within in surprising ways. Female imams, theologians, activists, and rebels show how faith can be a tool for freedom. Beyond their differences, they all share one certainty: women are magnificent. No god—neither in heaven nor on earth—has the right to deny them equality or subject them to men.
