Watch the award-winning documentary from the comfort of your home! Friday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m. through Sunday, March 23 at 11:59 p.m.
The documentary highlights the creation of the 9to5 movement, established to fight for workplace equity and against wage discrepancy and was the basis for the feature film, 9 to 5, starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin. In the early 1970s, secretaries in Boston decided to fight against humiliating, harassing, and illegal work environments. Their movement became national and is a largely forgotten story of U.S. twentieth century history. Director Julia Reichert was an Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning documentarian.
