Beyond Borders: Arab Feminists Talk About Their Lives... East and West Trailers

In the Arab world, women are fighting a two-front war against repressive internal constraints and intrusive Western interference. In this program, a feminist delegation composed of author Nawal Saadawi and other renowned activists from the Middle East and North Africa gathers at the UN, on college campuses, and in church basements to speak out about deterioration of women's rights in the Arab states in an effort to heighten awareness of the Arab feminist struggle for equality--and the effects of U.S. foreign policy on their efforts.

Reviews
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
