By sharing the honest stories of women and evoking strong emotions of the viewers this documentary film is raising awareness and changing the perception of women from the Western Balkan region. The premiere of this movie took place during the First Montenegro Rural Parliament in the National Niksić Theater, in Montenegro. The Western Balkan countries, particularly the southern regions, share a similar mindset regarding women’s role in society. Women are often overlooked and their significance is not fully recognized compared to men. To address this issue, this film was produced focusing on the region of Karst which exemplifies this attitude towards women. The film was produced by professional crew, out which 3 are professional actors and 7 are amateurs.
This video attracted attention to a common characteristic of the region and facilitate positive changes in community awareness. Also, it empowered women within the target group, enabling them to exercise their rights and experience complete gender equality.
