MATEUSZ DEMSKI: – In this spectacular documentary, the heroines talk about what love, motherhood, education, financial independence, self-esteem mean to them, but also the pain, suffering and injustice linked to their position in society. And each of them has its own story. 2000 women from 50 countries during interviews conducted in 26 languages. Where did this idea come from?
ANASTAZJA MIKOWA: – It started a few years ago, when Yann and I were working on the film “Man”. We have visited 60 countries and recorded over 2,000 songs. conversations with people of different cultures, mentalities and experiences. It was a record of human strength and diversity. We then became the confidants of moving stories and confessions, we discovered many corners of the world to which we did not have access, but at the same time we noticed a certain trend: it is men, and not women , who, without doubt or reservation, tried to be as honest and open as possible in front of the camera. They have much more interest, pride and willingness to share their experiences. For them, it was something normal and worthy that they could talk about for hours.

How did the women react?
AM: – They always looked at us with suspicion. Before persuading them to do anything, they asked many questions: Why do we ask questions about such intimate subjects? What is the goal of breaking the taboo? What will happen when their loved ones find out? And even if it did, what words and terms should we use to describe all this?
