Pursuing Dreams:
The Journey of Change and Self-Discovery

Discover a captivating documentary film as Agata Nawrocka engages in profound conversations with Agata Wittchen-Barełkowska, Anna Orska, Joanna Rubin, Natalia Stefaniak, and Anna Maria Szymkowiak.

‘Women Lockdown’ is an intensely personal conversation about dreams, hopes, and passions, but also things that weigh you down, and stand in the way of everything you want or hope for.

– In the film, we delve into the stories of Women, which serve as a pretext to show that following one's path empowers, despite encountering numerous barriers – said Agata Nawrocka, director and producer of the film –  Through our Conversations, we also showcase what can bring about a change. We discuss the challenges and how to overcome them, and end the day with a feeling we did something to drive our positive change.

The film's title shows how some Women feel today due to social, religious, and cultural contexts. The reference to "lockdown" serves to remind viewers of how we all felt during the strict lockdown in 2020 due to the threat of COVID-19, and to raise awareness that some people experience that throughout their lives.
