518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 1994. 
520    Women in four African countries are shown organizing 
       around issues of marital rights, reproductive health, 
       female genital mutilation and entrepreneurship. A film 
       about African women is a rarity, even more, one made by an
       African woman. In Femmes Aux Yeux Ouverts, award-winning 
       Togolese filmmaker, Anne-Laure Folly presents portraits of
       contemporary African women from four West African nations:
       Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal and Benin. The film shows how 
       African women are speaking out and organizing around five 
       key issues: marital rights, reproductive health, female 
       genital mutilation, women's role in the economy and 
       political rights. Femmes Aux Yeux Ouverts introduces us to
       many unforgettable African women. we meet a woman who has 
       taken refuge in a convent from a forced marriage. We join 
       a community health worker demonstrating condom use in a 
       marketplace. An activist describes why it is more 
       effective to attack female "circumcision" as a health 
       issue rather than as a women's rights issue. Women 
       entrepreneurs, who control trade in major cities explain 
       how they have formed their own mutual aid societies. A 
       Malian woman, who lost her daughter in the 1991 pro-
       democracy demonstrations, describes how women continue to 
       play a key role in the Malian revolution. Femmes Aux Yeux 
       Ouverts shows how women are organizing at the grassroots 
       level to insure their participation in the continent's 
       current move towards democracy. It has screened to 
       enthusiastic women's audiences across West Africa, 
       reinforcing their demands for a place at the center of the
       development process. "It takes courage to see the true 
       condition of women in the world and to speak out about it.
       Courage and a strong stomach. The women in this film 
       possess the necessary radical vision that neither 
       romanticizes nor renders remote the obvious consequences 
       of female enslavement." - Alice Walker "A wonderful film 
       seen through the eyes of women determined to make a change
       in their lives. It will make you cry and laugh but most 
       importantly, bring you closer to African women." - Else 
       Mia Adjali, United Methodist Office for the U.N. "Powerful
       and thoughtful . . . absorbing and non-voyeuristic, 
       distinguished by the candor of its interviews." - Claire 
       Andrade Watkins, Emerson College.
