IWD 2020: Honeyland

International Women's Day Movie Night screening Honeyland

Join Women’s Health East for our International Women’s Day screening of Honeyland. Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2019, Honeyland is a beautiful, poetic and funny documentary about a female beekeeper in the remote Macedonian countryside. It’s a tough and tender portrait of the delicate balance between humankind and nature, a glimpse at a fast disappearing way of life, and an unforgettable testament to one extraordinary woman’s resilience.
