Never before in our collective human history have so many women had such autonomy to construct a life of their own creation. Yet, the terrain is still rocky and ‘choice’ does not necessarily bring happiness, let alone freedom. Meanwhile, old models of femaleness still haunt women everywhere.

In this six-hour tour de force, Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman, master storyteller Jennifer Fox lays bare her own turbulent life to penetrate what it means to be a free woman today. As her drama of work and relationships unfolds over four years, our protagonist travels to over seventeen countries to understand how diverse women define their lives when there is no map. Employing an ingenious new camera technique, called “passing the camera”, Fox creates a documentary language that mirrors the special way women communicate. Over intimate conversations around kitchen tables from South Africa to Russia, India and Pakistan, she initiates a groundbreaking dialogue among women, illuminating universal concerns across race, class and nationality. Part delectable soap opera, sociopolitical inquiry, and narrative experiments, Flying sweeps us up into an addictive international adventure chronicled with sincerity, innovation and elegance.

“Jennifer Fox’s “FLYING” should be REQUIRED VIEWING For every woman!”
-Candace Bushnell, Creator, SEX AND THE CITY

“Jennifer Fox’s work sneaks up on you… by turns brave, loving, naive and selfish, Fox embarks on a three-year odyssey, training her lens on far-flung friends to ignite an intimate, yet global, conversation on womanhood. Eavesdropping is rarely this rewarding. A- ”
-ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“By turns playful, sexy, tragic and contemplative, “Flying” is an addictive soap
about sexuality and sisterhood. And if that makes the average man’s eyeballs roll, all the more reason for his honey to buy him a ticket…”
-Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES (Review)

“In Flying, Fox takes us with her soaring on joyful events and allows us to sink with her into the sad and tragic events in her life. She is a woman with whom any American woman can truly relate. Men watching this video could learn a great deal about the minds and hearts of females in their lives. ”

Susan Retik and Patti Quigley were two ordinary soccer moms living in the affluent suburbs of Boston until the tragedy of September 11 struck. Rather than turn inward, grief compelled these women to focus on empowering widows in the country where the terrorists who took their husbands’ lives were trained: Afghanistan.

As Susan and Patti make the courageous journey from their comfortable neighborhoods to the most desperate Afghan villages, they discover a powerful bond with each other, an unlikely kinship with widows halfway around the world, and a profound way to move beyond tragedy. From the ruins of the World Trade Center to Kabul and back, Beyond Belief is a journey of personal strength, international reconciliation and a testament to the vision that peace can be forged… one woman at a time.

“A moving and beautiful film!”
-Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner

Last year nearly 400,000 women in the United States got breast implants. At a time when more women than ever are making this choice, fewer voices than ever seem to be asking “Why?” And fewer still are asking “Are they safe?” Absolutely Safe takes an open-minded, personal approach to the controversy over breast implant safety. Ultimately, Absolutely Safe is the story of everyday women who find themselves and their breasts in the tangled and confusing intersection of health, money, science, and beauty.

At its heart, Absolutely Safe is driven by the experience of the filmmaker’s own mother. Diagnosed in 1974 with breast tumors, Audrey Ciancutti underwent a double mastectomy with silicone-implant reconstruction surgery. A year later, her implants ruptured, and soon after, her health steadily declined. Like thousands of other women, Audrey believes her debilitating illnesses—joint pain, chronic fatigue, scleroderma– are linked to her breast implants; however, most doctors and researchers deny this link. Among the debate by plastic surgeons, toxicologists, attorneys, implant manufacturers, whistle blowers, government officials and activists, Absolutely Safe introduces more everyday women like Audrey who make choices about their breasts in our appearance driven culture.

Even though the FDA recently lifted its restrictions on silicone implants and approved them for wide-scale use, many serious questions remain regarding breast implant safety. However, Absolutely Safe reveals that the conversation on implant safety is far more complex than simple pros and cons. Rather, the real conversation, the most important conversation—with the most difficult and challenging questions—rests with viewers themselves, as all individuals in our culture ultimately face this confusing intersection of choice, risk, money, beauty, and health.

Absolutely Safe sparks this long overdue cultural conversation.

“It is the perfect antidote to ads and TV shows that now routinely mislead women into thinking that these devices have been proven to be safe.”
–Judy Norsigian, co-author and Executive Director, Our Bodies Ourselves
