What do you think about when you think about women? Do we yield to the stereotypes proffered by a society that often has many ways in which it should catch up to modern times? Or do we look beyond to frame experience in a new way? The Ascent of a Woman takes the viewer on a journey with women who can be vulnerable but refuse to give in to circumstances as they break the mould and speak their truth. Sometimes they are the quiet superheroes of the everyday. But if needed, they can also be kind, proud and loving lionesses, protecting each other and those in need.
