Three African women filmmakers, Regina Fanta Nacro in Burkina Faso, Maji-da Abdi in Ethiopia and Agnes Ndbi in Cameroon, will each make a documentary on the Africa of today and tomorrow, hovering between hopes and fears, from a female point of view. Numerous issues emerge from the various aspects of social reality, with a focus on the women’s courage in overcoming all kinds of difficulty and their ability not to become mesmerised by Utopian dreams of running away, but to become organised at levels of micro-economy to ensure a better life for themselves and their families.
