Cinema Fanfare with talking women

It seems almost a custom that women and even girls are drugged and then abused within the closed religious community of the Mennonites. In one case, this abuse even led to a pregnancy. It actually took place in Bolivia between 2005 and 2009, and Canadian writer Miriam Toews published the book of the same name about it in 2018. Women’s Words Thursday, March 9, 8:15 p.m. The film Women Talking tells how women put aside their embarrassment for publication and discuss in a hayloft what to do: men forgive and stay or is it better to leave the community? We are screening the film partly in the context of International Women’s Day, which is “celebrated” every year on March 8. The film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Screenplay.
