Synopsis
In a shifting Vatican landscape, ‘We Women’ explores the evolving role of women in the Catholic Church. With Pope Francis calling for a ‘more incisive feminine presence,’ women are ascending to key positions, and the apostolic constitution hints at future opportunities. Through a fresh examination of biblical texts and a focus on female doctors of the Church like Hildegard of Bingen and Mary Magdalene, the film delves into questions surrounding women’s place in the Church. Will they ascend from the pew to the altar, or will a mass exodus occur? Featuring voices of Catholic women, theologians, bishops, and cardinals, this documentary delves into the future of women in the Church.
