So, there's this documentary from 2014 about a 57-year-old woman named Madonna, who's quite the character. She's the only female public bus driver in Georgia, and they really dig into her past as a Soviet tram driver. The film has a gritty feel, like it’s peeling back layers of her life amidst a backdrop of societal pressure and patriarchal norms. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to sit with her struggles and victories. It's stark, but also has moments that resonate — like her refusal to conform to what society expects of her. Definitely a unique slice of life that captures a raw and unvarnished look at gender roles in a male-dominated field.
