Trials of Eve, The

This poetic and provocative film uses art, drama, and original music to address the complex issues of women’s place in society, including the relationship between men and women, the oppression of women, and the role of religion and other cultural institutions in the victimization of women. These issues are explored in a historical as well as contemporary context. Myth and story-telling combine Canadian West Coast Native imagery with the Adam and Eve story to create a positive vision of change and transformation for both women and men.
