Beyond Beijing is an independent documentary produced by women about the largest meeting of women in history, the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) Forum on Women in Huairou, China, in September 1995. There, over 30,000 activists convened to communicate, collaborate, celebrate, and influence the outcome of the parallel United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
In this video kaleidoscope constructed of Forum events, journalistic interviews and intimate conversations, every speaker is a narrator, producing a text that is stylistically mixed, inclusive of multiple cultures and perspectives, and intentionally open-ended, thus challenging the viewer to participate in the spirit of "Beijing."
