Creating intimate portraits of Khady, Oraiza, Gila and Bilkusben, The Shape of Water drives the dusty the dusty roads of Senegalese villages and the energetic streets of Dakar, walks into Brazil's Amazonian rainforest, stands on a busy corner in Jerusalem, and takes a train ride into the Himalayan foothills.
The women are abandoning female genital mutilation, tapping for rubber to protect the rainforest, opposing military occupations, sustaining the world's largest trades union, protesting dams that threaten to drown their homes and lives, and safeguarding the biodiversity of the planet.
Their poignant stories, full of the tensions and pleasures of daily life, are brought to light in this award-winning documentary.
Women are making a difference - one person at a time, one group at a time.
