Celebrating International Women's Day: Upcoming Screenings of the Documentary 'Mulheres, Terra, Revolução'

As part of the International Women's Day commemorations, the documentary Mulheres, Terra, Revolução (Women, Land, Revolution) — authored by Rita Calvário (DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte) and Cecília Honório — will have two scheduled screenings over the coming week:

The first screening, promoted by the Olhares do Mediterrâneo – Women’s Film Festival, will take place on 8 March at 16:00, at the Cine-Teatro São João, Palmela.

The second screening, promoted by Câmara Municipal do Seixal, will take place on 10 March 2026, at 21:00, at the Auditório Municipal do Fórum Cultural do Seixal, with free admission upon reservation.

The documentary, which is part of the project Gendered power relations in agriculture: how rural women are facing gender inequality and struggling for more just and sustainable agri-food systems – the case of Portugal (Rita Calvário / DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte), gives voice to rural women who were the silent protagonists of change. Through the testimonies of female farmers, cooperative members, and journalists, it unveils a story of resistance, the struggle for emancipation, and the construction of people's power, during a time when speaking — and acting — was, for many women, a revolutionary act.

Both screenings will be followed by a discussion with the authors Rita Calvário and Cecília Honório.
