An introduction to the concepts of feminism, how people perceive feminism today and why it is essential that feminism continues to exist in our consumer driven societies. The film was shot in the different areas noted above in order to get an overview of thoughts and feelings about feminism across Europe.

Cara Holmes is a member of the DIY Irish Band Party Weirdo; in this documentary she takes the viewer on a journey through contemporary third wave feminism. She interviews women involved in earlier stages of the movement such as Ailbhe Smith from the UCD Women’s Studies Department, as well as moving to Berlin to look at queer spaces and how art and culture add to the movement.
