A reflective documentary that uses archival photographs to trace women's liberation and examine how far feminism has come—and how far it still needs to go.

In 1977, a book of photographs captured an awakening - women shedding the cultural restrictions of their childhoods and embracing their full humanity. This documentary revisits those photos, those women and those times and takes aim at our culture today that alarmingly shows the need for continued change.
