Sumuru Collection

The film collection features Sumuru, a powerful female protagonist aiming to dominate the world with an army of women. Combining spy-thriller and dystopian elements, these films captivate with action, exotic locations, and strong female leads, exploring gender and power dynamics. Produced in the 1960s and 1970s, they reflect female empowerment and autonomy, blending action, suspense, and campiness. With notable actors like Ursula Andress, the films highlight societal fears and aspirations, offering a proto-feminist perspective within action films.
