Summary

They are known around the world as the topless female activists who fight corrupt and patriarchal political systems. Their weapon of choice is their bodies-which they place front and center in protests around the streets of Kiev, where the group began, and all across Europe. Oksana Shachko is FEMEN's creative backbone. As a teenager, her fascination with religious painting led her to consider entering a convent, but in the end she used her many talents to create FEMEN and devoted herself to a life of activism. With I am FEMEN, director Alain Margot paints a portrait of the bewitching and many-faceted Oksana, while also revealing the stories of the brave young women around her who put their bodies on the front line in the fight for justice and equality
