Weavers

Weavers

synopsis

Yang Shenghua, Yang Yanfang, and Yang Zhengxian—three women from the Dali Dong village in China—preserve the ancestral art of weaving as an act of resistance and cultural transmission. Together, they weave memory, community, and autonomy into a network of sisterhood that supports entire generations.
