From small micro-aggressions to criminal abuses of power, the mistreatment and underrepresentation of women in Hollywood is becoming increasingly known, though little real change has actually occurred in a system in need of a critical reset. Produced with New Plot Films in association with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, David Yurman, and the Artemis Rising Foundation, this documentary asks: What is behind the film industry's blatant gender bias? What has been tried in the past and what initiatives are being tried today (and around the world) to confront gender discrimination? What does this discrimination look like on a more personal level? And most importantly, what must be done to create real and lasting change. 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 underrepresentation and misrepresentation of women.
