Oxana
Charlène Favier follows her César-nominated debut, Slalom, with a hard-hitting portrait of Oxana Chatchko, a modern revolutionary who paved the way for feminist resistance like the #MeToo movement. A biopic about Oksana Chatchko, a rebel artist, Ukrainian refugee, and one of the founders of the FEMEN movement. A contemporary, feminist plunge into European protest, where the artistic gesture has pride of place. Ukraine, 2008. The young Oxana Chatchko and her group of friends take spectacular action: topless, slogans painted on their bodies, wreaths of flowers in their hair, they take turns denouncing the prostitution industry, police violence, pro-Russian politicians... It's the birth of one of the most important movements of the 21st century: FEMEN. Political refugee, artist, activist, ‘sex extremist’... Oxana crossed borders and campaigned relentlessly for women's rights and freedom of expression, even risking her own life.
