The struggle for the emancipation of Muslim women is often stereotypically portrayed as a confrontation between Western and Islamic values, but Arab feminism has existed for more than a century. This documentary tells the largely unknown story of Arab feminism, from its taboo-breaking beginnings in Egypt by feminist pioneers to the viral internet campaigns of today's tech-savvy young activists during the Arab Spring.
