I was also so moved by Winslet's performance in "Lee". This essay also reminds me of Waad Al-Kateab's documentary about the Syrian resistance, called "For Sama." Have you seen it? Seeing this film was a turning point for me. When a woman makes a war documentary, it reshapes the world.
Ahhh, yes, I have seen For Sama, it's been awhile. I saw it when it first came out, so it slipped mind here. I am quite in love w/ the late Fatima Houssana's photos, the women featured in the docu-film Ground Zero. I agree when women hold the narrative, when we SEE it, truly see it, it shapes everything so differently. I remember conversing w/ colleagues about even how women in journalism's sites, socials, and delivery is different. It's far more rooted in human condition every time.
