Rusudan Chkonia • 2012 • Georgia-France-Luxembourg

In the televised Georgian Mothers' Content, a group of ten very different women compete for the ultimate prize of $25,000 and a family apartment.

Georgian filmmaker Rusudan Chkonia's first feature explores pressing issues of contemporary Georgian society—the enduring scars of a post-civil war nation, economic hardship, and human desperation—through the lens of broadcast television, calling into question the ethics of entertainment itself.
