Alongside the public figure Carla Lonzi, considered to be so uncompromising, there is much to say about her private side, as fascinating as it was contradictory. There’s her tenderness and emotional fragility, her dependence on her partner, hence on a man; her complicated feelings about motherhood; and strained relationships with other women in the practice of collective harikiri called “consciousness-raising”. Drawing on invaluable, unreleased archive material, the filmmaker Francesca Archibugi, who was very close to Lonzi, brings her public life and private story, her ideas, and her legacy to the screen for the first time. These are key to understanding what women around the world are still going through and fighting for.Read moreLess
