Should be on the list of feminist viewing. Stays engaging and motivational throughout. The soundtrack is also pretty great!
Another one that should be played in schools
Good. If you’ve grown up as a woman in America you probably already know a lot of this stuff.
A very revealing look into pervasive sexism and objectification in the media and pop culture/advertising.
Wonderful analysis of the media’s treatment of women!
Good entry point for learning about sexism in the media, but it doesn't expand upon themes enough to be anything beyond that
An intriguing look on the portrayal of women in media. The only thing missing was an intersectional perspective
Important documentary on female gender roles and expectations and deals well with this topic
I watched this in media studies when it was first released. The content is great, but the delivery isn't.
Women need more representation period. 50% of the population but not anywhere close to that in politics, Hollywood, leadership, etc.

A documentary about the legendary series of nationally televised debates in 1968 between two great public intellectuals, the liberal Gore Vidal and the conservative William F. Buckley Jr. Intended as commentary on the issues of their day, these vitriolic and explosive encounters came to define the modern era of public discourse in the media, marking the big bang moment of our contemporary media landscape when spectacle trumped content and argument replaced substance. Best of Enemies delves into the entangled biographies of these two great thinkers, and luxuriates in the language and the theater of their debates, begging the question, "What has television done to the way we discuss politics in our democracy today?"
Michael Moore comes home to the issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world).
An Indonesian man with a communist background named Ramli was brutally murdered when the "Communist" purge occurred in 1965. His remaining family members lived in fear and silence until the making of this documentary. Adi, a brother of his, decided to revisit the horrific incident and visited the men who were responsible for the killings and one survivor of the purge. These meetings uncovered sadistic details of the murders and exposed raw emotions and reactions of the killers' family members about what happened in the past - much to Adi's disappointment.
