WATCH: 'Pakistan: Karachi's Forgotten 'Mad Women' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aN8o2fx0ro In the Sichuan mountains in China, Lizajui is one of the last villages where the Mosuo customs are still observed. In this ‘Kingdom of Women’ mothers are the head of the household in a matrilineal culture where husbands do not exist.   The documentary follows the daily life of 18-year-old Naka, now in the midst of a dilemma. Is she ready to become the next head of the family? Or will she fulfil her dream of dancing with a folk troupe in the tourist area just a few kilometre away from this village that was once cut off from the world? The law of matriarchy What would a world ruled by women look like? Would it be more egalitarian, better organised or less violent, as some would like to believe? Can women do better than men? To sketch out some avenues, this documentary series sets out to meet traditional societies where women hold and transmit power, and are the decision-makers for their community.
