ABOUT
When the highest-grossing comedy, “9 to 5,” starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman and Lily Tomlin, exploded on the cinema screens in 1980, the laughs hid a serious message about women in the office. “Still Working 9 to 5” explores why workplace inequality 40 years later was never a laughing matter.
The documentary explores the comedic tone of the film and how it resonated with a wide audience at a time when the feminist message was being rejected and/or feared by a large swathe of the population.

Furthermore, it examines how workplace equality has evolved over the decades since, in relation to the Film, TV Series and Musical and how the questions raised hold relevance today. The documentary explores the bigger societal questions: Can a woman be prized purely on skillset and work performance? How does the office microcosm reflect the world at large and the prejudice against women? And has society any time in the last 40 years been really accepting of fundamental changes to workplace equality? How does each incarnation/spinoff reflect the workplace of that decade? LEARN MORE
