Ukraine's topless feminist sensation Femen has created a media frenzy across Europe, but before they take the world by storm, these bold and beautiful women must confront the dark and perverse forces that power their organisation.

Born in Ukraine in 2008 in the wake of the "Orange Revolution," the feminist movement Femen fights for democracy, freedom of the press, women's rights, and against corruption, prostitution, sexism, racism, poverty, and religion. The activists quickly caught the attention of the media with their shocking protests. In 2012, at the creation of Femen France, Caroline Fourest followed their actions. They notably affirmed their support for "Marriage for All" by protesting on November 18, 2012, during the demonstration organized by the Civitas Institute against the bill, provoking sharp clashes.

They are FEMEN and their decision to fight for feminism topless has made them famous far beyond their native Ukraine. After being forced to move their HQ in Kiev, FEMEN take their struggle to Paris, France where they continue to challenge gender inequality, patriarchal institutions, religion and the sex industry. This report is produced by RT - former Russia Today - send a clear message how Kremlin view this type of activity.

One year at the heart of a overexposed activism in mass-media, where its deep reasons remained under silence or sometimes misconceived.
