In a country where young women are still kidnapped as brides and conservative groups are gaining political influence, a young activist and pop-star rises as a voice of resistance. However, as authorities seek to quiet feminists and activists, both she and her family worry about how much attention her musical career and activism bring when not even the police can be trusted. This vérité-style documentary follows the fearless Zere Asylbek as she uses her music to spark solidarity among Kyrgyz women, despite being labeled as an "Agent of the West".
** This film addresses sensitive topics related to domestic violence.
