Women's History Month
with Docuseek

Docuseek is featuring new releases and essential films for Women's History Month. Over 275 films in the Docuseek collection present stories from women around the world celebrating their courageous spirit with untold tales of female heroism—powerful women who will stop at nothing to change our world for the better. 

New releases from The Docuseek Complete Collection 3rd Edition, and included in The Women's Studies Collection, include Academy Award®-nominated To Kill A Tiger and Academy Award® shortlisted Deciding Vote; Dance Me to The End of Time, by award-winning filmmaker Melanie Chait, as she documents the last four years of her life-partner, outspoken lesbian, artist and theatre director, Nancy Diuguid's life, as she fights breast cancer; Terra Femme, which weaves together questions of mobility, the gaze, and early female filmmaking; And Still I Sing, about three Afghan singers fighting for women’s rights through music, despite death threats in a patriarchal society; and My Maysoon about a filmmaker tracing her sister’s disappearance from Sicily to Tunisia to Libya, discovering that her boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, and what she confronts are graveyards full of missing migrants, and a labyrinth of ignorance and indifference.
