The video project #about_us is a feminist documentary about six girls that meet and narrate the story of each other. These are gender-based violence stories, visible or not, that they have experienced in the still patriarchal society of Greece. They are personal and true, ranging from their teenage years until today. The narrations correlate with journal entries of their vacation and everyday life. Beyond their abuse, they are female survivors full of dearness.
