Deepest Uprising - Full Documentary
As Asian economy booms, traditional social order shifts alongside. Despite diverse developments in different societies, female autonomy has gradually taken shape and entered a new era. In contemporary countries where political and religious conflicts, and bloodsheds, never cease and customary discriminations, and misogynistic crimes remain the norm. In DEEPEST UPRISING, interviews of a group of women poets from different regions across Asia, including Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines were taken place. Personal situations, insights, and poems reflect problems they have confronted in their respective countries, very often mainly suffered by government policies and traditional practices. Historically, oppression and hostility against women in wars are revealed while the film highlights how women poets’ struggle to break free from shackles in changing societies. All this points out that a new female literature movement, and richness in ideas are given birth to Asia. - Director / Producer: Huang Ming-chuan Poets: Taiwan: Lee Yuan-chen, Li Yu-fang, Tsai Hsiu-chu, Tu Miao-yi, Sayum Vurow India: Bina Sarkar, Tishani Doshi, Vinita Agarwal, Arundhathi Subramaniam, Pradnya Pawar Sri Lanka: Anar, Kalpana Ambrose, Vivimarie Vanderpoorten Philippines: Marjorie Evasco, Dinah Romah, Maxine Syjuco
