Synopsis:

As a young girl, Oksana Shachko became enraptured in her iconography classes and painted intricate portraits of religious figures. She even planned to join a convent at one point. In the documentary Je Suis FEMEN (I Am FEMEN), we see Oksana painting a Madonna and child, and we also see her painting what has become her life instead: bare breasts, masks, murals, and enormous protest signs. Oksana is one of the founding members of the Kiev, Ukraine-based protest group Femen. While her vocations in life might appear contradictory (nun vs. topless activist), perhaps her calling has always been clear-to surround herself by women and effect change in heavily patriarchal spaces. Oksana is the 'Je' ('I') in the film-her story, as a dedicated artist and activist-dominates Swiss director Alain Margot's film. I Am FEMEN refers not only to Oksana's journey, but also a supportive and sympathetic point of view from behind the camera.

A revealing look at FEMEN- the topless female activists who fight corrupt and patriarchal political systems in Kiev and all across Europe- as well as a portrait of the group's creative backbone, the bewitching Oksana Shachko.
