The film explores the new wave of French feminism as it battles against femicide and the erosion of women’s rights. In black letters on white posters, the names of murdered women are plastered on the walls of every town and city in France. Employing a simple and striking graphic style, the practice has spread widely thanks to social media – some 200 groups in France, but also worldwide: Berlin, London, New York, Madrid, and as far afield as Mexico, Montreal and Tunis.
