This PBS documentary is absolutely brilliant and genuinely captivating. It captures the awakening of the women’s movement in the 1950s when women were restricted had few opportunities outside the kitchen, and current situation of women in the United States. The film chronicles feminism through the decades, and features amazing interviews with Gloria Steinem, Oprah Winfrey, Billy Jean King, and countless others. The documentary also features the variety of ways in which the media aided the movement (whether through news coverage, celebrities, magazines, radio, etc). Part One of the documentary can be seen below.
