What happens

Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman is a 2006 documentary film by Jennifer Fox. In six one-hour episodes, Fox travels across countries with her camera recording numerous candid conversations, mostly with women. Its autobiographical dramatic narrative acts as a starting point to introduce reflections on various social and political issues of a modern female life, including marriage, reproductive rights, divorce, childbirth, sexual abuse, and female genital mutilation. The film is notable for its conversational "Pass the Camera" filming technique and is an example of cinéma vérité. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
