She They Us
How to navigate the world fiercely, when it doesn't seem created for your body, work, well-being, love? SHE THEY US is a series capturing the vision of women and their future, inspired by intersectional feminism and global responsibility. We work and fight for a more equal future in five episodes: body bullshit, sisterhood, unpaid care, leadership and femAnism.
She They Us is a series about the hopeful fight for a future where everyone can be equal. Each in their own way, seven people from the Lowlands strive for a world that better suits their well-being, bodies, work and love. We see, among others, musician Charlotte Adigéry, e-sports journalist Eefje 'Sjokz' Depoortere, cultural worker Fatima-Zohra Ait El Maâti, top model Hanne Gaby Odiele, domestic worker Mieke Van Hove, space scientist Angelique Van Ombergen and gender expert Kaouthar Darmoni.
Throughout the series, each character embraces her/their own interpretation of intersectional feminsim. 'Intersectionality' recognises that everyone experiences their own unique form of discrimination or oppression, involving not only gender but also ethnicity, class, religion, mobility, ... It was therefore crucial to make this series not from the perspective of one director, but through the kaleidoscope of a diverse film team of women and men, and in close collaboration with the protagonists.
