Perhaps Antonin's most heralded work is Courage of Women, a 2000 documentary honored at the Cannes Film Festival that lovingly portrays the harsh lives of two sisters. They break rocks and sell them to builders to support their families, including unemployed young male relatives who consider their drudgery demeaning. (heritagekonpa.com)
