She Rises Up
She Rises Up
This installment, “She Rises Up,” is Maureen Castle Tustys latest offering as a documentary filmmaker and it seeks to address the international economy and the efforts of a certain group of women trying to operate within it. Rightfully, removing the pride from the three central women as they are Gladys of Peru, Magatte of Senegal and Selyna of Sri Lank, “She Rises Up” allows these women to repudiate the link between female economic oppression and the inability of their society to flourish economically. They seek to develop their nations but while doing so, all of their business undertakings aim at creating opportunities for women to work.
One slide in the film’s prologue underlines that purportedly in this case if a woman work within the parameters of the world’s economic framework, she will collectively be able to wage economic war to equal the two superpowers – USA and China. The film finds this primary proposition and takes on its vindication every step of the way depicting every one of the women and systematic dismantling of their particular barriers to entry.
Selyna focuses on the textile industry and marketing of fabrics but as a business director, she plays a supportive role rather than a creative one.
Still more riveting, however, are the segments featuring mother and daughter Nirmala and Madhusha, who lament how what is deficient in sexual health education has economic implications on their other lives. Period poverty for many women is not an abstract that is to be conceived but rather a practice that is real-poverty, shame, and lack of financial resources constitute barriers towards product acquisition and most resort a monthly cost of caring to feminine hygiene which leaves many without.
This was followed by self-managed production of reusable pads using Sri Lankan cloths and thus making both income and ‘women’s resources’ available for women in the area. In Peru, Gladys has two small bodega stores which she operates, as well as employs some of her family members. She shares that she comes from a typical sad especially for people in her culture since her father was absent throughout her childhood, and this is the reason she sought to create and make sure she leaves the same future to her baby daughter.
Consequently, Magatte who hails from Senegal did view the local markets, which were open to their women to earn some dollars, besieged by the capitalist wave of large brand sodas that forced local small businesses that sold indigenous hibiscus drinks to close down. She began a business of bottling and selling the drink not just to protect the employment of the women in the markets but to preserve women’s culture through their local drinks. And yet, some-member firms ended up having to pivot as the headquarter partners stopped outsourcing the production of the drink to China.
“She Rises Up” tries to embrace all the cultures that are present doing the women take out their strategy and ideas and confronts but does not even make the slightest effort to grasp the present them. As we shall turn to the circumscribed passion of the women and the bureaucratic inaction that would preserve them, and eventually the country within “She Rises Up” will not fully understand and express the emotions needed to achieve these ends of the price. It’s just very simple, too simple to emerge out of a chronicle in which those policies do not possess contradictory objectives , except to tell and reveal motivations and one’s background and latter preclude in every sense the government that operates on a bureaucracy resistant.
We are not capable of being present with the humanity. The film as a whole is perceived by the viewer as some kind of children’s school presentation, some kind of ideas in a Power Point presentation, and some moralizing about woes and troubles so crazily over the top that it doesn’t actually work. It is both apparent and implemented that the education of the audience is number one priority, but however people will be deficient by presence and there will be rather lower stick. A few cuts had many of the scenes rife with complaints losing focus with too many talking heads while the women regardless of each point they make make a circle of it. Looking at the structure also makes it jumbled in how-zhe and when-foof the back and forth between Peru and Senegal and Sri Lanka were more hopscotchy than seamless.
Last but not least, there is Magatte’s statement and an appeal to be a part of the change; “It is easy to have a heart for the poor; it is having a mind for the poor that is the challenge.” Many of the countries in the world have one thing in common; approximately thirty two percent of the countries have laws prohibiting women from engaging in most economic activities. This is a concept of supporting the locals while buying goods that makes one feel good when the accolades roll in but sadly too much of the detail misses out on wisdom so that ‘She Rises Up’ is pretty much a blur.
