What we're doing
We're making a documentary about the women's experiences in Turkey and the US, two apparently very different countries, where Twitter campaigns #YesAllWomen and #sendeanlat brought attention to common issues with gender-based violence.
These parallel campaigns show that there is a transnational conversation to be had about women’s experiences. Women around the world have stories to tell, to each other and to society.
We will contribute to this dialogue through a 39-minute, entirely bilingual documentary highlighting the common ground in women’s experiences in the US and Turkey.
We need your help!
We're not trying to make money, just trying to break even and make a documentary that will provide an interesting dialogue on gender issues in countries close to our hearts.
Our budget is to offset the cost of travel, filming supplies/software, and some professional editing. Want details? We'll send you the excel sheet.
We'd love to hear from you!
Not interested in donating? Would you be interesting in sharing your story? We are looking for men and women from Turkey, the US, or elsewhere to talk to us about their experiences with sexism. Email us at [email redacted] for more info.
Why it matters
This is the first documentary bridging Turkish and American feminism and the first to address these Twitter parallels. It is an important addition to the conversation around women’s rights in an increasingly global and social-media oriented world.
Just as the Twitter campaigns exposed common experiences with ‘everyday sexism,’ we will underscore that women throughout Turkey and the US have similar experiences with patriarchy -- that when we say “yes all women,” we do mean all women, regardless of language or location. Our goal is to highlight such common experiences, share women’s stories, and spark a truly international dialogue on women today.
