Summary:

This book, part of the World Cinema series, delves into the intersection of gender, feminism, and documentary filmmaking in a global context. Edited by Najmeh and Shilyh Warren, it brings together scholars and filmmakers to explore how women engage with documentary practices to address social justice, activism, and storytelling. The work is divided into thematic sections, focusing on feminist worldbuilding, public and private connections, documentary activism, and feminist perspectives. It highlights diverse case studies, including African, Latin American, Iranian, and East Asian contexts, and examines the role of women in reshaping documentary as a powerful tool for advocacy, memory, and cultural critique. Aimed at scholars, students, and practitioners in film and gender studies, this book offers innovative approaches to understanding feminist contributions within the broader framework of global cinema.
