MORE ABOUT THE FILM

"Remember how our parents told us we could do or be anythings we wanted? Well that was fine, but what if I wanted to be Tonto or Sky King?"
The film maker questions her sister, herself and others about the dreams and hopes they had growing up as girls in contrast to the reality they face as women. Topics include: play, sports, careers, motherhood, body image, sexual assault and self-esteem.

Dr. Arlie Hochschild

"One of the best films I've seen on women's issues, perspectives, and sexism."
Kent Koppelman
