Description
After a tragic incident within their community, seven college students come together to take charge of their safety through a self-defense workshop. Led by a passionate instructor, they explore various techniques and responses to confront not only physical threats but also the pervasive fears that linger in their lives. The workshop serves as a platform for empowerment, transforming their vulnerability into strength.
As the days progress, the students form deep connections, sharing their own stories and struggles. This journey goes beyond mere physical defense; it evolves into a powerful narrative of resilience, trust, and the importance of solidarity among young women. The workshop becomes a catalyst for personal growth, pushing them to challenge societal norms and advocate for safety, not just for themselves but for their peers as well.
