GIRLS DON’T CRY

GIRLS DON’T CRY

“Who run the world? Girls!” (Beyoncé)
What does it mean to be a girl? And what con­nects girls world­wi­de? GIRLS DON’T CRY seeks ans­wers to the­se ques­ti­ons. Nancy, Nina, Sheelan, Sinai, Selenna and Paige live in dif­fe­rent count­ries under very dif­fe­rent con­di­ti­ons. Sheelan, for exam­p­le, fled with her fami­ly from Iraq and starts a new life in Germany. Nancy lives in a shel­ter in Tanzania to defend her right to her own body. Sinai strug­gles with ide­als of beau­ty and the pres­su­re to per­form in South Korea. Six sto­ries about cou­ra­ge, self-deter­mi­na­ti­on and the fight against dis­cri­mi­na­ti­on – and about the search for one’s own place in the world. An epi­so­dic docu­men­ta­ry for all iden­ti­ties. (SoS)
