Abstract:

This film centers on nine peasant women living in Arslankoy, a mountain village in southern Turkey. To lighten the burden of life, these women come together to write and perform a play based on their own life stories. For days on end, under the curious gazes of the village men, they work tirelessly, discuss and create with much fun a play, "The Outcry of Women!" This documentary is about the development process of this play and the change the women went through during this period.
