Women Who Dare explores Turkey and the existence of Eastern/Islamic traditions and Western culture through the lives of its women. This intimate, feature-length documentary delves into the compelling lives of three women in Istanbul - a dancer, an artist, and an activist. Each juggles Eastern and Western cultures, daily, in her own unique way.
