Desc: Awakening: Directed by Joel Weber, Dominic Howes. Awakening is about the social and economic empowerment of severely marginalized women in Afghanistan and India. As these women courageously band together to transcend their historically restricted roles, a new ethos is spreading. An emerging economic system with values like sharing, mutuality, collaboration and closeness to nature emerges as a counter-text to Globalism and points to a way that could eradicate severe poverty in our lifetime.
