Three Prestigious African Female Filmmakers. Three Charismatic African Women. Three Outlooks on Gender and Empowerment. Female power embodied in lives of three remarkable African women from different social levels and origins determined to bring about radical transformations in their day-to-day realities.
The film stars three women, each of whom tell their life stories: Amai Rose from Zimbabwe is a businesswoman and housewife, Phuti Ragophala is a South African school teacher and principal, and Njoki Ndung’u from Kenya is a politician, a member of Kenya's parliament, a supreme court judge and a human rights attorney and supporter. The three women express their opinions about what women and children in African cultures need to succeed. The film is a documentary that upholds gender equality as a fundamental principle in the growth of democracy and the creation of a better future, as well as a necessary condition for reducing poverty, it portrays a women's revolution in Africa of the era (the late 2000s and early 2010s).
