Hairy Legs<\/strong><\/em>, an animated short film, documents a 13-year-old girl\u2019s small yet life-changing act of rebellion on the road to womanhood and feminism. Deciding not to shave her legs led filmmaker Andrea Dorfman to question and ultimately defy society\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With charm, warmth and humour, Hairy Legs<\/strong><\/em> captures the universality of girls exploring gender, curiosity and freedom as they evolve from spending exuberant, carefree days on their bicycles to facing and defying stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
