What does it mean to be a woman? To find out, co-directors Anastasia Mikova and Yann Arthus-Bertrand interviewed some 2,000 women across the globe, in this riveting follow-up to their epic 2015 documentary, Human. Filmed over the course of two and a half years, this panoply of womankind shares individual stories, from the most intimate to the cultural, touching upon a vast array of topics — sexuality, marriage, motherhood, domestic violence, freedom, enslavement, body image, love, anger, wisdom… And despite the adversity — at times, the outright tragedy — so many of these women have come up against, they are all absolutely radiant as they give voice to the deepest, truest parts of themselves. Their diversity notwithstanding, the universality of their experiences ultimately resonates with us all.
