The Women’s Kingdom
Directed by Xiaoli Zhou & Brent E. Huffman
22 minutes
This short documentary offers a rare glimpse into a society virtually unheard of 10 years ago and now often misrepresented in the media. Mosuo women control their own finances and do not marry or live with partners; they practice what they call “walking marriage.” A man may be invited into a woman s hut to spend a “sweet night,” but must leave by daybreak.
