Chiara Tilesi is the producer of We Do It Together's documentary Reflections, directed by Katia Lund. It is a journey inside the American culture and its subconscious images and myths, which have historically and politically shaped our lives as women and men. The documentary aims to recognize and investigate the historically recurring myths/images, which have been created around the role of women and men to perpetrate the control of our movements when needed.^[14] We Do It Together's upcoming campaign Be the Subject, Not the Object (Changing the Narrative of Women One Painting at a Time) will have internationally renowned artist Denise De La Rue and director Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri join forces to reinvent the narrative of women through time. De La Rue will be reinterpreting iconic paintings of female nudes by recreating the images and poses, but substituting the nude form with images of fully clothed, successful women who are changing the world. As a result, she aims to reinvent the female narrative by literally changing these inspiring women from "objects" into "subjects". Pal-Chaudhuri will be giving these female forces a voice through short documentaries that will tell their background and incredible journeys, while capturing the essence, the creation and mission of Be the Subject, Not the Object.
