I am Femen was recently added to Netflix and I promptly made time to watch it. I am Femen is a documentary about Femen, the Ukrainian activist group that promotes feminism and attempts peaceful topless protests against injustice caused by the patriarchy. This film is crucial for modern feminists, as well as those looking to broaden their horizons. IMDB says: "A revealing look at FEMEN- the topless female activists who fight corrupt and patriarchal political systems in Kiev and all across Europe- as well as a portrait of the group's creative backbone, the bewitching Oksana Shachko." Femen protests involve trademark flower crowns and free nipples which draw a stark visual comparison of the police dressed in riot gear attacking them. I highly suggest this film, as well as checking out Femen's website.
