AFRICA IS A WOMAN’S NAME

The documentary presents the lives of three extraordinary African women from different social levels and origins determined to bring about radical transformations in their day-to-day realities: Kenyan attorney and reputed lawyer Njoki Ndung’u; Phuti Ragophala, the committed school principal of a remote South African village; and Zimbabwean housewife/entrepreneur, Amai Rosie. Three women in very different settings reflect on their achievements and failures, the reasons for their commitment, their individual stories, the setting in which their leadership is inscribed, their own transformations as women being key to interpreting their power. What resistances do they have to overcome? And the most important question: Is Africa ready for women to assume power?
