Honoring the life and legacy of Gloria Steinem, this screening of The Glorias will be followed by a conversation with the film's Director, Julie Taymor.
About the film:
Journalist, fighter, and feminist, Gloria Steinem, is an indelible icon known for her world-shaping activism, her guidance of the revolutionary women’s movement, and her writing that has impacted generations. In this nontraditional biopic, against the backdrop of a lonely bus on an open highway, five Glorias trace Steinem’s influential journey to prominence—from her time in India as a young woman, to the founding of Ms. magazine in New York, to her role in the rise of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s and beyond.
Director, Julie Taymor (Frida, Across the Universe) brings her signature inventiveness and audacity to craft a complex tapestry of one of the most iconic and legendary figures of modern history, based on Steinem’s own memoir My Life on the Road. Remarkable performances by Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander steer an engaging cast with strong supporting turns from Janelle Monáe, Bette Midler, Lorraine Toussaint, and Timothy Hutton. Taymor’s visionary direction highlights Steinem’s vital relationships with fellow civil rights and feminist leaders in an ode exploring the importance of forging your own path and embracing the challenge of the open road.
