2014 Berlin Feminist Film Week: FORBIDDEN VOICES

The 2014 Berlin Feminist Film Week is showing Barbara Miller's award winning documentary Forbidden Voices. The film won the AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AWARD at the Human Rights Film Festival in San Sebastian and show 3 women's courageous fight against their regimes.

"Their voices are suppressed, prohibited and censored. But world-famous bloggers Yoani Sánchez, Zeng Jinyan and Farnaz Seifi are not frightened of their dictatorial regimes. These fearless women stand for a new, networked generation of modern rebels. In Cuba, China and Iran their blogs shake the foundations of the state information monopoly – putting their lives at great risk."

Barbara Miller’s film FORBIDDEN VOICES accompanies these brave young rebels on their dangerous journey and trace their use of social media like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to denounce and combat the violations of human rights and freedom of speech in their countries – thereby triggering international resonance by building up enormous political pressure.
