FEMEN - The Story of the Two Founders of the International Feminist Movement

In 2007, they arrived in Kiev to change the face of the world. Ten years later, Sacha Shevchenko and Oxana Shachko, the true founders of Femen, were brutally expelled and had their movement taken away from them. Based on their painful confessions, the author traces the international saga of an idea born in the plains of Western Ukraine and which got lost in internal quarrels and personal ambitions. Femen is the story of blondes to die for, Russian spies in Montmartre, beatings, corrupt politicians, real and fake escapes, fascists, Islamists and embezzled money. Olivier GOUJON is a photojournalist for the French and European press. He has been following Femen since the beginning of the movement and was one of the first to report on it. He has been working for several years on claims of minorities and for freedom (water war in Kurdistan, birth of Rojava in Syria, Somaliland: the happy Somalia, etc., as well as the refugees of Chagos, femininity in Iran). His reports are distributed by lightmediation (www.lightmediation.com) and Pictorium Agency (http://www.lepictoriumagency.com).
