#111 - Women Talking

This week we discuss Sarah Polley’s Oscar nominated film - Women Talking! Based on a 2018 novel of the same name, which in turn is based on true events at the Manitoba Colony in Bolivia, Women Talking closely follows a group of women in an isolated Mennonite community who have been the victims of both physical and psychological abuse. While the men are away, they tell the women that they have 48 hours to either forgive their abusers, or leave the colony. This film is an act of female imagination. Deliberate, uncompromising, and tough-minded, this film will challenge its viewer. But… Is Women Talking Good?
