Feminism: The Fifth Wave

Directed by Molly E. Smith

Feminism is a dirty word - at least that is how some women see it. It has been weaponized in the media, radicalized, and apparently caused polarization between generations. However, these few loud opinions do not make up the whole. In this film, we take a closer look at the evolution of feminism through the generations, reveling a surprising similarity. Are we really different in our ideas of feminism, or is this just a perception? In addition, with Generation Z on track to being “most diverse, best-educated generation yet," as well as having access to smart phones since birth, there is no question that they will impact the movement. This film is a culmination of a year long research study to determine the future of feminism. Welcome to the fifth wave.
