Still Working 9 to 5

Synopsis

A pioneering feminist crowd-pleaser released way back in 1980, the angrily sparkling hit comedy 9 To 5 is just as relevant now as it was over forty years ago, and the film’s legacy and significance is beautifully captured in the wildly entertaining new documentary Still Working 9 To 5.

With a sly grin but a bold lack of compromise, the film explores the challenges and barriers to success for women in the workforce and society, and the disappointing lack of progress that has been made for women since the original release of the 1980 blockbuster comedy.

The new documentary includes commentary from original 9 To 5 stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Dabney Coleman, alongside advocates and leaders of prominent women's rights organizations including Lilly Ledbetter, Zoe Nicholson, and Karen Nussbaum. “It’s a delicious blend of entertainment and inspiration,” says Ellen Cassedy, co-founder of the National Association Of Working Women.
