Girls & Gods

Documentary Film, AT/CH 2025, DCP, 104 min, OmdU, OmeU

Are belief in God and fundamental feminist convictions mutually exclusive? In the documentary, the Ukrainian Femen activist Inna Shevchenko confronts various women: believers, theologists, activists, and religious feminists who defend their faith. Girls & Gods seeks an answer to the question of whether monotheist religions can be feminist, and feminism, religious.
