I wasn't really sure what to expect when I came upon this film, but I took the 11 minutes and watched it with an open mind. I honestly loved it. I know that some people are going to view this film and say "this is hyperbole, things really aren't that bad for women," but the sad truth is, things are that bad. Maybe not in your neighborhood, maybe not in your state, maybe not in the USA as compared to other parts of the world but there is always an opportunity to better the world and bring issues to light. I believe this short film gives a great example of what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes, you may not realize at the time but what you say and do does directly impact those around you.
(I will give you a bit of a warning, there are some topless women, and some explicit French words so you may not want to watch this openly at work but I would definitely recommend bookmarking it and coming back to it on break.)
"Oppressed Majority" was directed by Eléonore Pourriat.
