Oxana

Ukraine, 2008. Young Oxana Shatchko and her friends set the streets ablaze with bold actions: topless, slogans painted on their bodies, garlands of flowers in their hair. They are fighting prostitution, police brutality and pro-Russian politicians. What begins as a cry for justice grows into one of the most influential feminist movements of the 21st century: FEMEN. Oxana was more than an activist. As a political refugee, artist and “gender extremist,” she crossed borders and defied danger, determined to fight for women's rights and freedom of expression-even with her own life at stake.
