Nadirah: Coal Woman

An animated ethnographic portrait on the experience of shame of Nadirah, a female informal coal miner in a small village in the mountains of Tajikistan. Based on a collaborative feminist art-research project between the animation director Kate Jessop, and the geographer and ethnographer, Negar Elodie Behzadi, 'Nadirah: Coal Woman' aims to make visible otherwise invisibilised stories of shame, focusing on the story of one of the most stigmatised female miners in the village of Kante.
