GUDS OLYDIGA REVBEN

According to the Bible, the first woman was formed from a rib bone of the first man—and that was just the start of the problems.

Through the eyes of acclaimed journalist and author Gunilla Thorgren, we take a different look at the stories in the Bible and uncover a second story – the story of women. With dazzling aerial sequences, terrifying illusions and hilarious commentary, we traverse through the history of the religious text. Confront a millennium of misogyny and oppression and the unrelenting resistance against it – with Thorgren's signature feminist humour as your guide.

In God's disobedient ribs, we follow along as Gunilla Thorgren reads the Bible with feminist glasses. It is an absurd, funny, horror-filled adventure from ancient times to Martin Luther. Join in the search for women's roles and voices, which have not previously been allowed to come forward. How many of the issues we wrestle with today have their origins in the Bible?
