輕便的衣著、隨興的談吐，是章夢奇給人的第一印象。近日來台灣擔任「DOC DOC紀錄片工作坊」活動講師的她一現身，即親切地招呼我們。很難想像小小身軀的她，已加入吳文光導演的「民間記憶計畫」有八年，更在蹲⋯⋯
二十二歲是怎樣的年紀呢？二十二歲的女孩又是怎樣的女孩呢？同年齡的人是否少不免有所相似？同性別的人又是否少不免有所見似？如果兩者皆是，那麼，二十二歲對女孩而言就是個共同經歷 ——二十二歲是剛大學畢業，不⋯⋯
Dialogue takes practice—whether with others or with yourself. How do we find common ground when our values differ? And how do we learn to live with the parts of ourselves that feel unfamiliar?

It is in these moments that we become more willing to walk alongside others, with openness and care.
Female power is finally on the rise! Nearly half of the world’s population is female, yet the attention and resources women receive remain disproportionately low. What are women thinking? Are they truly happy living in today’s society? Do they have access to the resources they need to fulfill their potential? Are women born gentle and obedient—or are they shaped that way? What does it take for a woman to become a woman? What kind of “femininity” has been predefined by families and social norms? These documentary films explore the many facets of womanhood—the struggles, the expectations, and the remarkable stories of women who defy conventions and fight to become their truest selves. Is female empowerment truly here? We’ve come a long way, but there’s still much more to do.
