And these are just the documentaries - feature film Suffragette has also recently been added!
1. She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry (2014) (Available worldwide)
“Such a compelling introduction to the women’s movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It touches on topics beyond gender inequality like racism, classism, and homophobia (both in the country and within women’s organisations), along with confronting powerful topics through personal interviews.”
2. The Hunting Ground (2015)
(Available worldwide)
“It’s absolutely amazing and eye-opening for all college students and non-college students. If you were angered by the Brock Turner case, you’re going to experience a whole new kind of anger with this documentary.”
3. Miss Representation (2011) (Available in US, UK, Canada, more)
“Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Condoleeza Rice, Gloria Steinem and others discuss sexism in American society and the media.
”
4. Girl Rising (2013)
(Available in US, UK, Canada, Australia more)
“It is heartbreaking then empowering, and it shows the power girls have that so often goes unnoticed.”
5. Maidentrip (2013)
(Available in US, UK, Australia more)
“It follows a girl who became the youngest person ever to sail ALONE around the world. I’m pretty sure she was 14 or 15! It’s awesome because she films almost everything herself.”
6. Whores’ Glory (2011) (Available in US)
“Follows girls in Thailand, Bangladesh, and Mexico. The differences between the ones that seem to enjoy their job, to the depressing state of poverty and those having prostitution as their only means of income, to the more stereotypical view of drugs and sex. The entire film is captivating and opens your mind to new ways of viewing prostitution.”
7. Pink Ribbons, Inc. (2011)
(Available in Canada)
“A film about how companies utilise the pink ribbon campaigns to ‘find a cure’ for breast cancer to increase sales and improve their image, but hardly any of the money goes to the cause. It’s so interesting and important, given the seriousness of the topic and how it affects women.”
8. Hot Girls Wanted (2015)
(Available worldwide)
“Filmmakers Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus shed light on Florida’s amateur porn industry through the experiences of five young women in the business.”
