You have to be seen before you can be heard.

Women in London in 1918 had no right to vote and no custody of their children. They started part-time at seven and full-time at 12. They worked hard in factories (or laundry rooms?), worked longer hours than men, and were paid more. few. Seeing a 12-year-old girl being sexually harassed by a boss is like seeing a 12-year-old yourself. You can choose to be silent. Didn't my mother, my mother's mother come here like this? But what if I had a daughter. She will repeat my track, the world still serves men, and women can only exist by relying on men. So fight, the enemy thinks I'm delusional cannon fodder, but I know I'm fighting for myself, for my daughter, for my daughter's daughter! I'm a soldier. This society can't hear women's voices, so make some noise! ​​For the world to see that there is another group of people. This campaign, which has more than a thousand women imprisoned, is also just about making women's voices heard in the world. I don't think this is a biography in the strict sense, it's not about a protagonist's journey from awakening to sacrifice. It is to be lobbied, joined and witnessed by others. (There may be other backgrounds, but I don't understand). As a bystander and participant, I experienced the shackles that society gave to women, realized the meaning of fighting, and even witnessed the sacrifice of heroes. I watched this video and tried to record my feelings, but I watched too many fast food videos in my head, and it seemed that I could not clarify my feelings very well. But I started and I am very happy. I hope girls can watch this movie, good night.
