Feminism and Films

So, feel like watching a movie that conveys feminism?
Well, here are a few movie trailers to some of my personal favorites.

1. "Every generation needs a new revolution"



Itty Bitty Titty Committee is your total anti-patriarchy film.
"Anna has been rejected by her college, her girlfriend broke up with her, and her big sister is getting married. She meets Sadie, who invites her to join the Clits In Action, or C(I)A, a radical feminist group. Anna soon gets in touch with her radical feminist side."

2. "It took them 17 years to learn the rules, and one week to break them all"



Angelina Jolie fan? Then you'll love her in this film.
Five teenage girls form an unlikely bond after sticking it to the man (a male teacher who had sexually harassed them.) Angelina Jolie's character, Legs, teaches us that we as much as anyone else deserve to be respected, and that we have to respect ourselves as well.

3. "Real women take chances, have flaws, embrace life..."



"This is the story of Ana, a first generation Mexican-American teenager on the verge of becoming a woman. Real Women Have Curves pays homage to the inner strength and genuine beauty of - women!"
