Three (Extra)Ordinary Women

The feature documentary Three (Extra)Ordinary Women tells the story of three women of color who collectively survived abuse, poverty, and oppression yet became successful women determined to give back. Theirs are but three examples of how systemic racism in the United States and the Palestinian occupation continue to disenfranchise people of color. The film follows them today as middle-aged women embarking on their most challenging physical quest yet –summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. The path they’ve chosen to take, the Machame Route, has one of the highest success rates. But these women were not given the same path in life- they were born into situations that gave them the least chances of survival. As they make their way up the dormant volcano for seven days the film will dive deep into their past using a mixture of animation, personal photos, home videos, and archival footage as they narrate the twists and turns of their life paths while trekking up the mountain- and inspire other women
