Helen T. Verongos New York Times Sep 1, 2016
Broader than it is deep, "Equal Means Equal" still drills down into enough specific issues to shock us afresh. Go to Full Review

A swiftly paced documentary about America's systemic war on women's rights ... Go to Full Review
Tomris Laffly Film Journal International Aug 24, 2016
Kamala Lopez's unfocused documentary packs too much data and talking heads into its running time, and ultimately plays like a news report rather than a movie. Go to Full Review

Jul 13, 2017 Bad as everything Lopez directs. A great subject, a great cause, entirely dwarfed by the director's need to be celebrated. See more Mar 11, 2017 This is a must see for all men and women. This movie should also be more accessible, so as to spread this information faster and open the eyes of the public. See more Sep 7, 2016 "I did not know that!" Basically, I found myself uttering that phrase throughout this important and very relevant documentary about women's rights and the struggles and challenges many try to overcome each day. Some scenes are shocking, others heartbreaking. Did you know that women in the United States of America still DO NOT have equal rights under the law? I just assumed they did, but they do not. Technically and legally, it's still a man's world. Until I watched this eye-opening film, I did not know that! Highly recommended. See more Sep 6, 2016 outstanding documentary that deals with the injustice to women See more Sep 5, 2016 Must see. Can download this soon by going to website for Equal Means Equal. This film tells the story of why The Equal Rights Amendment needs to be passed for women in America and the global implications of its not being passed in the US. See more Sep 5, 2016 I had the opportunity to see Equal Means Equal while I was visiting NYC this past weekend. This film raises critical questions about the status of women in our society. A compelling argument is presented to highlight why it is critical that women finally be recognized under the US Constitution. See more Read all reviews
