We made a selection of our most amazing documentaries about women for you. The subjects are all different, live thousands of miles from each other and each has their own story. But they have one thing in common – they all can be called ‘a strong woman’. Honduran Femicide (2022) - Every 36 hours a woman dies in Honduras. They are often victims of gang warfare, as the criminals clash over territory. The women have little choice: to flee the country, to try to fight or to join one of the clans. I am a Female Bodyguard (2021) - More and more often, wealthy clients are hiring women as bodyguards. They are well-trained, skilled with weapons and in hand-to-hand combat techniques. Who are these women who choose the career of a bodyguard and why do they do it? Mama Uganda (2020) - This documentary is about the world’s ‘richest’ mother. She is a bit over forty and has given birth to 44 children, of whom 38 have survived. At the age of 12, Mariam was married off to an old man. A year later she gave birth to twins. Her husband beat and humiliated her, often cheated, and then left her. Why does a single mother have such a large family and how does she manage to feed all these mouths? Women Built this City (2019) - For more than half a century Colombia has lived in a state of armed conflict. Confrontations between gangs, drug cartels and the government faded, and then flared up with renewed vigor. During this time, more than 262,000 people have died, women and children among them. For their safety, Colombian women have built a shelter, an entire ‘City of Women’. Sterilised (2017) - About 30 years ago, nearly 315,000 people in Peru suffered from forced sterilization. According to the official version, the action was completely voluntary. However, thousands of Peruvian women tell a different story. Peasant women were abducted and had forced surgeries; their fallopian tubes were tied. Why did the authorities take this measure? #rt #rtdocumentary #documentary #youtube #watch #world #life #people #rtdoc #womensday #women #female #strongwoman #womenstories #humanstories
