Marseille, March 8, 2026 — International Women's Day of Struggle and Interview with Maryam Kaba
On March 8, 2026, Marseille took to the streets for the International Day of Struggle for Women's Rights. I followed the march through the city center, camera in hand, to capture its collective energy: the pulse of feminist batucadas, the silhouettes of stilt walkers rising above the crowd, the signs, the chants, the faces.
In the middle of this momentum, I sat down with Maryam Kaba, a French Afrofeminist activist and author. Her interview anchors the film and offers a lens through which to read what the march brings into view: violence against women, the solidarities being built, the intersection of feminist and anti-racist struggles, and everything that continues well beyond a single day in the calendar.
The edit aims to let both registers speak to each other — the pulse of the street and the precision of the testimony — to convey a March 8 that feels alive, rooted in Marseille and in the longer history of feminist struggle.
