Abramorama has acquired U.S. theatrical rights to #FemalePleasure and will release the Barbara Miller documentary beginning Friday at the Village East in New York City. The pic portrays five courageous, smart and self-determined women — Deborah Feldman, Leyla Hussein, Rokudenashiko, Doris Wagner and Vithika Yadav — who break the silence imposed by their archaic-patriarch societies and religious communities in the fight for sexual liberation and autonomy for women. There is a high price: they all have experienced public defamation, threats and prosecutions and have been excommunicated by the societies in which they grew up. The film from Mons Veneris, Das Kollektiv Fur Audiovisuelle Werke and Indi Film is produced by Philip Delaquis and executive produced by Walter Kamm, Ellen Ringier, Roswitha Shild and Melanie Winiger. Here’s the trailer:
