  • Introduction: Christiane Büchner, Barbara Wurm, followed by a video conversation with Tatjana Loginova and Irina Demjanova (in Russian language with translation)

ORANZHEVYE ZHILETY shows that women are on the frontlines of the struggle against authoritarian regimes. The film is a kaleidoscope of the collapsing Soviet Union from Minsk to Dushanbe, from a maternity ward to a cotton plantation; a reflective East-West dialogue on feminism and a letter in film to Helke Sander. Party functionaries, factory workers, and prison inmates performing manual labor in orange vests expound on twofold burdens, exploitation, militarization, and environmental destruction. Seldom has educational awareness been so harsh.
