DESCRIPTION

Although gender equality has long been included in the legislation, women are still victims of mobbing and abuse of power. The strike of #metoo movement inspired Kitty Green to tell a story that sadly still happens all over the world. A young girl, just a college graduate, starts to work as an assistant to an influential film producer. Julia Garner’s masterclass performance and the annoying question left, what do we keep closing our eyes to?
