This moving documentary follows three women — Nada Markovic, Bui My Hanh, and Jacqueline “Madame Urbain” Dembele — as each goes about the daily business of empowering, educating, and seeking justice in their respective societies. Weaving through locations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mali, and Vietnam, “A Powerful Noise” tells a tale of hope much larger than the sum of its parts. To learn more about the film, go here.
