Ukraine Is Not a Brothel

"Ukraine’s feminist movement is the subject of Kitty Green’s critical, yet sympathetic documentary about Femen, an organization formed in the wake of Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union that aims to shed light on the hardships faced by Ukrainian women... Femen focuses on sex workers who have been the victims of human trafficking, but their methodology is questionable at best... Femen’s signature act of civil disobedience is the topless protest, which naturally attracts attention, although not necessarily for the intended reasons. An interesting profile of an unconventional feminist group, this is recommended."

"Green beautifully allows the material (and the characters) to speak for itself..."

"A fascinating documentary..."
