This Changes Everything @ 27th Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival
(Tom Donahue, U.S., 2018, 84 min.)
A fleet and comprehensive review of the issue of gender discrimination in Hollywood, This Changes Everything takes an incisive look into the male-dominated film industry to examine those forces both conscious and unconscious that continue to foster the systemic under-representation and misrepresentation of women. Crisp and solidly structured, the film offers fascinating discussions about forgotten Hollywood history, provides revealing statistical analysis of bias, and features a deeply impressive number of female directors, writers, actors, critics, executives, attorneys, social scientists, and other figures. Among those interviewed are Geena Davis (whose Institute on Gender in Media is a co-producer), Meryl Streep, Sandra Oh, Jessica Chastain, Shonda Rhimes, Reese Witherspoon, and Taraji P. Henson. Directed by Tom Donahue whose Casting By played SLIFF in 2012 This Changes Everything simultaneously serves as an act of consciousness-raising, an eye-opening education, and a rousing call to action.
