This is a documentary about Lebanese poet and writer Joumana Haddad, who has stirred controversy in the Middle East for having founded 'Jasad' (the Body), an erotic quarterly Arabic-language magazine.

"Jasad" is controversial not only for its erotic articles and essays on sex in Arabic, but also for the fact that an Arab woman is behind it all.

You'll get to meet the passionate woman behind this controversial magazine and hear the reasons behind coming up with such a project, and the obstacles and challenges she faced as editor-in-chief.
