In this two part documentary, storyteller Jennifer 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 unfolds over four years, our 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.

Critical Acclaim

Captures the rhythm and flow of female conversation, sometimes sad, often bawdy. Flying is… shot through with some wonderful stories.

Julia Wallace, The Village Voice

By turns playful, sexy, tragic, and contemplative, Flying is an addictive soap about sexuality and sisterhood.

Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
