Plot
Storyline
Equal Means Equal is a groundbreaking exploration of gender inequality in the USA featuring top women's rights activists and leaders. A brutal expose of a broken system, the film reignites the dialogue on full equality for all Americans.
The film does an outstanding job of laying out the many ways women are disadvantaged in the United States under the Constitution. Using facts, figures, interviews, colorful graphics, news footage and occasional humor, the audience is led through current challenges to wage parity, legal protections, maternity leave, ending violence and poverty. The argument is clear and compelling. It's provocative but avoids man-bashing as it makes the case for why men and women should be fighting to get the Equal Rights Amendment passed.
