About Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman:
In this six-hour tour de force, Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman, Fox lays bare her own turbulent life to penetrate what it means to be a free woman today. As her drama of work and relationships unfold over four years, the protagonist travels to over seventeen countries to understand how diverse women define their lives when there is no map. Employing an ingenious new camera technique, called "passing the camera", Fox creates a documentary language that mirrors the special way women communicate. Over intimate conversations around kitchen tables from South Africa to Russia, India and Pakistan, she initiates a groundbreaking dialogue among women, illuminating universal concerns across race, class and nationality. Part delectable soap opera, socio-political inquiry, and narrative experiments, Flying sweeps us up into an addictive international adventure chronicled with sincerity, innovation and elegance.
