SYNOPSIS

Do you make the world a better place if more women have access to senior positions such as president or prime minister? Is it true that belief in vogue for women together with men in a relationship of equals can transform the world we all live? These questions hover across to the documentary 'Powerful': a global debate on women and political power.

Angela Merkel in Germany, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Liberia, Hillary Clinton in the U.S.; Queen Rania of Jordan ... After each of these characters, there's a story, a long story full of obstacles and overcome them. Not only during their terms, even before reaching them.
In the documentary 'Powerful' testimonies appear: in first person on their respective trajectories, on the specific obstacles that had to settle for their gender and how to overcome them to become who they are and stay where they are.

Their stories transcend the first person and is inextricably intertwined with the history of their own countries. 'Powerful', then it will also be witness to his mind: the way how today they make history and tell the story, day by day you have to make sensible decisions to resolve disputes short-term and immediate consequences: the positive and / or negative. 'Powerful' does not seek answers exhaustive.
But the viewer does offer sufficient evidence to enable it to discern the question that inspired this documentary: if more women at the pinnacle of political power can transform our increasingly global society. And, of course, also on the eternal question of whether another world is still possible.
