This five-part series presented by Bullfrog Films examines the state of women's rights on a global scale. Loosely based on a report by the United Nations Population Fund that stated that the denial of education and reproductive health care for women is a human rights violation of epidemic proportions, this series places the viewer next to four women who are the faces behind the numbers. World of Differece,
Young Wives' Tale, Girls from Chaka Street,
House on Fire, and
Caught in the Crossfire will transport you to and then submerge you in the realities of women in places such as Latvia, Jamaica, Fiji, and Ethiopia. These stories are not rosy and cozy. What plagues the women of these Third World countries also plagued our mothers and grandmothers and still plagues a great many women within today's culture. ~ Ed Atkinson, All Movie Guide
