Documentary by Rita Calvário and Cecília Honório at the Olhares do Mediterrâneo – Women’s Film Festival

The documentary Mulheres, Terra, Revolução (Women, Land, Revolution), authored by Rita Calvário (DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte) and Cecília Honório, will be screened at the Olhares do Mediterrâneo – Women’s Film Festival on October 28th at 6:00 p.m., at the Museu do Aljube.

The documentary, which is part of the project Gendered power relations in agriculture: how rural women are facing gender inequality and struggling for more just and sustainable agri-food systems – the case of Portugal (Rita Calvário / DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte), gives voice to rural women who were the silent protagonists of change. Through the testimonies of female farmers, cooperative members, and journalists, it unveils a story of resistance, the struggle for emancipation, and the construction of people's power, during a time when speaking — and acting — was, for many women, a revolutionary act.

The session will include the presence of Rita Calvário and Cecília Honório, the film's directors, and Paula Godinho (Anthropologist, IHC – Instituto de História Contemporânea / NOVA FCSH).
