Documentary

In the early 1970s, a group of secretaries in Boston decided that they had suffered in silence long enough. They started fighting back, creating a movement to force changes in their workplaces. This movement became national, and is a largely forgotten story of U.S. twentieth century history. It encapsulates a unique intersection of the women’s movement with the labor movement. The awareness these secretaries brought to bear on women’s work reverberates even today. Clericals were the low-wage workers of their era. America now confronts the growing reality of deep income inequality. The stories and strategies of these bold, creative women resonates in contemporary America.

'9to5: The Story of a Movement' does what any good documentary should: recounts the past interestingly while inspiring change for future generations. The big message of the movie is that, while a lot of good change has happened over the years thanks to movements like 9to5, we all still have a long way to go for equality in the workplace
