Okay, the title might be an exaggeration. But honestly, where are our women in film? Where are the strong independent whom take the audience on a 2-3 hour adventure of a turning table of emotions. Women with courage, confidence, intelligence and independence, where can I find you? Sure, argue that Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games, Gravity and Divergent all portray leading women in film, but let’s put that against countless films that constantly screen the protagonist male and the damsel in distress. Let’s have the crazy black friend and the mean girl. Let’s have women sexualised once placed in a leading role. Ladies and Gentlemen…Where are the real women?
