Never before in our collective human history have so many women had such autonomy to construct a life of their own creation. Yet, the terrain is still rocky and ‘choice’ does not necessarily bring happiness, let alone freedom. Meanwhile, old models of femaleness still haunt women everywhere. With all the advances that women have made for themselves, patriarchal systems still exists across the globe. Rarely is a woman fully in control of her own body or her own fate. Often and in some cultures, the subjugation is overt—female genital mutilation, the veil, lack of access to abortion, dowry, and rape as a tool of warfare. Just as often it is insidious—social condemnation of women who take joy in their sexuality, harassment defended as “harmless” flirtation, legislation prohibiting sexual education in schools and the consequences of the subsequent lack of knowledge, the equation of “female” or “feminine” with weak, incompetent or emotionally volatile.

In this tour de force, FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMAN, master storyteller Jennifer Fox lays bare her own turbulent life to penetrate what it means to be a free woman today. Our protagonist travels to over seventeen countries (including, but not limited to: India, Pakistan, Cambodia, Russia, and South Africa) to understand how diverse women define their lives when there is no map. Employing an ingenious new camera technique, called “Passing The Camera”, Fox creates a documentary language that mirrors the special way women communicate.
