FEMINISTS: What were they thinking?

Website to Support Kickstarter Funding Campaign for Documentary Film

“Feminism seems to be the scariest word in the English language. But not for those of us who experienced the game-changing awakening that was the Women’s Movement of the 1970s. Growing up in the fifties and sixties meant not only second class citizenship legally, but 2nd class human being-ship: not invited to the party of medicine, art, law, education, science, religion, except maybe as the secretary. Our film, FEMINISTS: What were they thinking? digs deep into our personal experiences of sexism and of liberation, and follows this ever-challenging dialogue right into the 21st century. We are taking it personally.” — Johanna Demetrakas, Director

The website took the project through fundraising and production until the film was ultimately picked up by Netflix.
