Everything can change (Téva): Geena Davis, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett… they condemn the sexism prevailing in Hollywood

What if women matter in Hollywood? That’s the question asked in this documentary by Geena Davis, which condemns discrimination against women in the Hollywood film industry.

Discrimination against women has been highlighted in the Hollywood film industry for decades. Director Tom Donahue uses an unprecedented technique to explain this female representation on screen. Opinions of leading actresses such as Geena Davis, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Chloë Grace Moretz or Natalie Portman, who are also executive producers of the film, support this fact and lift the veil behind an unequal industry.

“Why is there only one female character in Finding Nemo? But they are fish! “While watching this cartoon with her daughter, the unforgettable translator Geena Davis, Thelma and Louisehad the idea to create the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in the Media. Its mission: to study the representation of genders in media and cinema. Observation is overwhelming… and it prompts him to produce this documentary manifesto. ” Only 4% of filmmakers in the US are women ‘, she recounts. And two women (Kathryn Bigelow and Chloé Zhao) win Best Director Oscars. Statistics cannot be denied. In Hollywood, female roles are often secondary and behind the scenes, women are not held in positions of responsibility: CQFD? It is not without consequences in the formation of our imagination.
