Six Days

About This Movie

Six Days is a gripping documentary that intertwines the lives of three remarkable women, each contending with the harsh realities of conflict and cultural oppression. Lanja, the fearless journalist in Iraq, dives into the treacherous waters of honor violence, while Maia confronts the brutal tradition of bride kidnapping in Abkhazia. Then there's Nelly, who operates a women's shelter in Liberia's grimy slums, embodying resilience in the face of despair. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing each story to breathe, and the raw, almost intimate performances make it strikingly impactful. It’s a real look at the strength and endurance of women in war zones, exploring themes of survival against odds; it’s less about action and more about the quiet ferocity of everyday battles.
