Monday inspiration: Jackie Faye, a military journalist who recently completed six Ironmans on six different continents in one year. Her work has taken her around the world, including Afghanistan. "It was truly special to train alongside these young women, two of which are training for a 250-kilometer race in Mongolia," she told @shape. "What's crazy is that they're doing it despite the fact that it's dangerous to run outside. So watching them come to base and train, giving it their all, made me realize I really didn't have an excuse when it came to accomplishing my goal. Compared to them, I had everything working in my favor." She was inspired to start @shecantri, an organization devoted to advocating for women in male-dominated fields and encouraging and empowering more girls and women to be successful in those fields. #womeninsport #womensrights #inspiringwomen

We had a great screening last night in Vancouver and felt inspired by the conversation that followed the film. Thanks for joining us Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan! And thanks to @hotdocs_ and @viffest for including us in the Hot Docs Showcase!
Happy #femalefilmmakerfriday. Here’s #afghancycles director @sarmenzies on location in Afghanistan. As filmmakers, we believe that women deserve a platform, both on the screen and behind the camera. We deserve to tell our stories. “It’s not intentional that most of my films have centered on women. I try to think, ‘If I came across this story not as a filmmaker, would I still be interested?' You look at whose stories aren’t being told, and often it’s women,” says Sarah. You can catch the film this Saturday at @hotdocs_ showcase at @viffest in Vancouver. Screening Saturday July 7 at 6:30pm at Vancity Theatre. 📸 by one of our favorites, @claudialopezphoto #documentary #documentaryfilm #vancouver
