By a Thread

Through my short film, I wanted to communicate a message of female empowerment and agency in the face of trauma and injustice. The film explores the idea that women are not passive victims, but rather active agents who are capable of taking control of their own lives and destinies. It also explores the intense emotions of female rage and how societal expectations can suppress women’s anger.
