Dear all 
I rather liked the film (though Virginie's point is valid and important) - I think its disturbances are very powerful (both in terms of effect and affect). I recently tried something similar as part of a participatory/participative research project exploring sexual health and gender relations with young people in Zambia. Participants' ability to transform themselves and their gendered performances was amazing. I may be sharing some of that at this years IBG. Such role reversal can reveal much.... and bring forth much.... 

While on the subject of challenging and stimulating videos for use in teaching - one of my colleagues - Matt Sothern -  recommended the following short video to me recently. Its funny - yet very moving and also very geographical - and it makes the point that it is very difficult to throw off power even when we are trying hard to actively resist, reverse or disturb it... : we are all a little bit homophobic, sexist, racist etc....  watch all 10:47 mins

Good attempt, I agree. But the piece didn’t quite work for me, 
also precisely because of the point that Virginie raises. 
Best, Tatiana

Thank you all  for the links.
Great attempt to convene the point!
I wonder how it comes across in different contexts,
But  sad that the assaulters have a North-African outlook…. Was that to keep it more realistic?
Well I guess you cannot tackle everything at once…
