Melissa Potter’s Animated Film in Progress, Ammunition for the Virgin is now on-line
By tradition in some the remote and inaccessible Southeastern parts of the Balkans, a girl born to a family without boys is forced or sometimes chooses to live her life as a man. She dresses like a man and usually takes on the role of inheritor of the family property, becoming a brother to her sisters. In most cases, she never marries and never engages in a sexual relationship, hence the referral to these women as “sworn virgins”.
Please check it out, along with stills of the women interviewed, and of course, everyone is welcome to contribute to the conversation
