Experiencing Interruptions?

WHEN WOMEN SPEAK

When Women Speak is a documentary film that challenges perceptions that Ghanaian women’s activism around existential, and political issues are of more recent or western origin. The film, shot entirely in Ghana, traces a cohort of 16 women
who came of age in the 1960s & 1970s and catalogues their experiences, in their own words, as Ghana passed through periods of single-party, military and multi-party rule.
