A Thin Line

2016 · 80 min · Documentary

A former soldier in a peace-keeping mission. A woman who survived the violence of the war. Somalia, former Yugoslavia. Two different wars, two different stories, crossed by a single thin line: following it, we meet the linkages between violence against women and the rituals of the patriarchal military communities. Up to discern the cultural and historical roots of male violence against women.
