Description:

Exploring the lives of Palestinian women under military occupation and imprisonment, Women in Struggle presents the singular testimony of four women ex-detainees who recount their individual prison experiences of often-abusive confinement in Israeli-operated penitentiaries. “Once content in their lives as sisters, wives and mothers,” says director Buthina Canaan Khoury, “each of the women [becomes] active ... for the national fight for Palestinian independence.”
