In France, bodybuilding women are little publicized and yet their appearance intrigues and unsettles, sparking an ideological debate in a world where the female body is continuously exhibited, revealed and judged. Who are these women? What drives them? In this documentary project, I aimed to offer a fresh perspective on these female athletes. Representations of women in the media and throughout visual culture predominantly present a male viewpoint, which shapes societal norms and reinforces gender stereotypes. Creating media content by, for, and about women is essential. In this project, far from the media's portrayal, I encountered a diverse array of women with vastly different life journeys but a shared struggle: to be accepted and respected for their choices.
