This Changes Everything

Told first-hand by some of Hollywood’s leading voices in front of and behind the camera, This Changes Everything takes an incisive look into the history, empirical evidence, and systemic forces that foster gender discrimination and thus reinforce disparity in our culture.

Donahue deserves credit for proactively going out of his way to make a movie that tells it like it is - and paints it as it could be.
Donohue lays out the situation and offers a rallying cry for change.
Behind the scenes, This Changes Everything offers several nuggets that are both illuminating and infuriating.
It is a rallying cry and an invitation to join the movement for gender equality in Hollywood.
