Host Tara Jabbari has a conversation with Catherine Haigh and Hannah Congdon to explore the journey of creating their documentary, Women Behind the Wheel, which focuses on women's empowerment in remote communities. They highlight the importance of research, language, cultural challenges, and community support as they share their experiences connecting with local women, the complexities of gender roles, and the impact of social media in their research. They also address serious issues like bridal kidnapping and the nuances of feminism in different cultural contexts, emphasizing the need for small, incremental changes to foster empowerment and support local initiatives.
