Mexico: The Feminist Revolution I ARTE Documentary

WATCH: Violence Against Women in Turkey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhTQ46XOQEk Hooded, dressed in black from head to toe, organised in small groups, a new generation of feminists is raising their fists in favour of the recognition of women's rights. Far from the model of the previous generation, that of the mothers of families who marched in silence, these anarchist activists who demonstrate with violence in European capitals claim to be part of the "Black Bloc" movement. In their eyes, man is a predator, an ultimate danger. Their slogan: "No forgiveness, no forgetting" for all sexual abusers. The radicalisation of the feminist movement sometimes turns into a street fight throughout the country. In 2019, nearly 4,000 Mexican women were murdered. Feminicide was only recognised in 976 cases. 99% of the murders of women go unpunished. A few months ago, part of this group of activists stormed the headquarters of the National Human Rights Commission in Mexico City. The public building became the headquarters of their movement, but also a refuge for women victims of aggression from all over Mexico. A place totally forbidden to men and over-protected. Exceptionally, the Bloque Negro accepted the presence of Manon Heurtel's camera, immersing themselves in the daily life of these battered and fighting women.
