What are the historical conditions that compel women to join social and political movements, to engage in liberation struggles, to join the ranks of resistance — sometimes as leaders — shaking up the very representations that reinforce essentialist and reductionist notions of woman’s place in society?
Arab Women in Resistance is a programme of documentaries rooted in recent Middle Eastern and North African history. Through their stories and conversations, women from Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, and Lebanon tell of their political commitment and make us share their lived traumas as they speak of the love they have for their country, for freedom, and for human dignity.
Film can elucidate life in different ways, allowing us to slip into other people’s skin, inciting us to adopt another perspective and to question our society’s hierarchy of moral values. Which is more monstrous: structural injustice or people who break laws to put an end to that injustice?

La députée péquiste nous sert ses préjugés abjects sur la résistance libanaise:
http://www.louisebeaudoin.org/2009/10/03/une-enigme-libanaise/
Je caricature à peine: “comment un chrétien civilisé comme Aoun a pu s’allier avec ces sauvages musulmans chiites du Hezbollah, M’am Beaudoin, député du plus beau pays du monde mène l’enquête”
Publié dans Le Devoir édition samedi 3 et dimanche 4, page C5
Madame Beaudoin: le Canada, comme les autres états occidentaux, pratique le terrorisme, le meurtre de masse, l’ingérence, le sabotage, le pillage économique et culturel depuis trop longtemps maintenant. Les libanais ont dit assez en 2006, déterminés à défendre les droits humains et nationaux les plus sacrés. Le Hezbollah est un mouvement de résistance essentiel à la sécurité et l’unité du peuple libanais, que cela vous plaise ou non.
