THE FUTURE IS FEMALE...

By Nandita Shenoy
Directed by Kathryn Walsh

How far would you go to ensure your political party’s future? 
Set in the not-too-distant future, this comic send-up of wellness spas and self￾empowerment retreats focuses on four women who reflect on what’s needed to be seen as fully female. Throughout their week-long journey at the Future is Freedom  Retreat, the women bond over their collective dislike of naming their sleeping quarters in honor of the female goddess within, changing their diets to enhance their  womanly cycles and an overwhelming desire to ingest copious amounts of meat and gluten. All the while, the women are unsuspecting players in a plot to foil the conservative governmental forces through ‘divine femininity.’
