    Free the Nipple

    Lina ESCO 2014 USA Fiction color 79min English DCP
    Based on true events, an army of topless women, armed with First Amendment lawyers, graffiti installations and national publicity stunts, invade New York City to protest the backwards censorship laws in the USA. Today, in the USA it is ILLEGAL for a woman to be topless in 37 of the United States of America, in some states that includes breastfeeding. Free the Nipple explores the hypocritical contradictions in our media-dominated society wherein acts of baroque violence, killing, brutalization and death are infinitely more tolerated by the FCC and the MPAA, then a woman's body. What is more obscene: Violence or a Nipple?
