The Returning Tide: A Feminist Journey in Thirty Years

About This Event

The Returning Tide revisits the legacy of the Fourth United Nations World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, through the voices of more than twenty feminist activists across East Asia. Thirty years later, the film asks what sustains connections across borders and generations, and what keeps the tide returning again and again.
