Nandini Manjrekar, who teaches the Women's Studies class "SP.409: Women and Global Activism in Art, Media, and Politics," will lead a discussion after the film.
UnLimited Girls (Documentary, 94 min, English, Hindi, Marathi) is an exploration of engagements with feminism. Told through the conversations of a narrator called Fearless who starts accidentally in a chatroom and embarks on a journey where she encounters diverse characters, the film uses a personally reflective tone and playfully eclectic form, mixes non-fiction and fiction, to ask questions about feminism in our lives: why must women lead double lives, being feminist but not saying they are.
