This study aims to describe and compare the struggles of the main characters in the movies Photocopier and The Hunting Ground using Maria Mies' feminist materialist theory, and to identify the influence of patriarchy and capitalism on their pursuit of justice. A qualitative method is used to capture and interpret the complex details within both movies. The results indicate that in Photocopier and The Hunting Ground, the feminist movement is rooted in the oppression and exploitation of female characters by perpetrators and capitalist institutions such as universities. The difference in outcomes {--}Suryani's failure and Andrea's success{--} highlight how socio-cultural conditions, where Indonesian society chooses to remain silent while American victims unite to fight back, affect the effectiveness of feminist resistance against capitalist-patriarchy.} }
