Ukraine Is Not a Brothel
2013
Synopsis
Ukraine’s topless feminist sensation, Femen, has stirred up a press frenzy across Europe. Outraged by the image of Ukrainian women as either brides for sale or commodities of sex tourism, Femen bare their breasts in protest to disrupt this perception and agitate these brutal patriarchal forces.
Editorial
Filmmaker Kitty Green (The Assistant) was arrested by secret police during the making of this documentary, which reckons with the discomfiting power structure behind one of Ukraine’s most famous feminist groups. A rigorous probe into the knotty politics of protest in the age of commodified activism.
