The documentary combines archival material with contemporary stories, juxtaposing scenes from the 1967 Royal Commission on the Status of Women with the 2nd Pan-Canadian Young Feminist Gathering in 2011 in Winnipeg, organized by the rebELLEs movement. It explores the progress made on concerns raised 45 years ago: universal childcare, violence against women and abortion access.

Pendant près de 30 ans, des centaines de femmes vivant à Umoja disent avoir été violées par des soldats britanniques dans le nord du Kenya. Accusées d'avoir apporté la honte sur leur communauté, elles se font battre et répudier par leur maris. Une poignée d'entre elles créent Umoja, un village interdit aux hommes qui devient le refuge des femmes samburu. Des hommes jaloux attaquent régulièrement le village et posent des problèmes à sa fondatrice Rebecca Lolosoli.
