Some might believe that this movie especially, considering the subject matter, should be helmed by a woman. She says it really affected her self-esteem and for the first time made her realize she wasn’t an “actor” but rather an actress, with all the negatives that that can mean in a Hollywood that still hasn’t found the key to equality.Īn interesting aspect of all this is the fact that This Changes Everything was directed by a man, Tom Donahue. One in particular comes from Chloe Grace Moretz, who tells a story about making a movie when she was just 14 and being asked to wear a breast-enhancing device. Key sequences involving legal fights by the ACLU and DGA on this issue are eye-openers, but the film gets into some very personal and poignant stories that also are effective. Henson, Reese Witherspoon, Cate Blanchett, Sharon Stone and so many others including many top directors and producers who bemoan the fact that, though some progress is being made, it still has a long way to go. In addition to Davis - who will receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy on October 27 for her work in this field - a who’s-who of star power is interviewed including Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman, Taraji P.

Davis founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media after watching kids programming on TV and being shocked at how little representation girls had on these shows and cartoons.
