9 to 5: The Story of a Movement

Julia Reichert, Steven Bognar VS 2019 85 min.

In the early 1970s, a lot of women worked as secretaries or typists. Not feeling represented by the labour movement, they were more than tired of being marginalised: their competences curtailed to fetching coffee, being called girl or sweetheart and no right to a pension. The Nine to Five campaign became a justified call for change. An extraordinary retrospective of a movement that started small but blossomed into an influential national movement.
