TV: Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman |
Memoirs have been in the news a lot lately – particularly when they turn out to be less than truthful (thus making Oprah very angry). The solution? Let’s go to the videotape! That’s what globe-trotting filmmaker Jennifer Fox did – capturing five years of her own rocky personal life, with stops along the way to chat up women everywhere.
Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman (on the Sundance Channel beginning 5/5) is a six-hour DIY miniseries that mixes Fox’s own up-front video diary (she’s often literally naked, struggling with the choice between two lovers) with the enlightening onscreen confessions she elicits from women in 17 countries. It’s these heartbreaking stories from Pakistan, Cambodia, Somalia – tales of ritual genital mutilation, teenage prostitution, enforced marriage – that make Fox (and her audience) realize that maybe simply being unlucky in love is the least bad luck of all.
