9TO5: THE STORY OF A MOVEMENT
Special Features: Intro by 9to5 co-founder Karen Nussbaum
Most have heard the song "Nine to Five" by Dolly Parton or seen the 1980s blockbuster of the same name starring Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda (also part of this series!). Yet few realize that these icons of popular culture grew out of a social movement that spanned more than 25 years and sought to have a profound impact on work for women, and the American workforce as a whole. This illuminating documentary tells this little-known story, starting with a group of women office workers in Boston in the early 1970s and touching on still-relevant issues such as sexual harassment, pay equity and the "glass ceiling." DIR/SCR/PROD Julia Reichert, Steven Bognar. U.S., 2019, color, 85 min. NOT RATED
