Right now, nearly 110 million people around the world are displaced from their homes, a number that has doubled in the last 20 years. More than half of those displaced are women and girls.

This documentary film follows the lives of five such individuals: women who have survived trafficking, warfare, migration, homelessness, joblessness, and more. Today, they continue to fight for freedom, belonging, and safety. They fight for themselves, and they fight for their communities.

In the margins of survival, resiliency endures. Communities form. New dreams emerge. Those who have escaped the trauma turn back to help those still left behind. A girl is rescued from forced labor in Thailand; as a woman she commits to rescuing other girls just like her. A Colombian emigrant in America returns to the streets of Bucaramanga to support Venezuelan migrants. A widow forced by violence from the Democratic Republic of Congo comes home to rebuild with her community. A mother and her two daughters flee war in Ukraine and navigate a new life in Canada. Syrian women living as refugees in Lebanon form a collective to advocate for themselves and others.
