Movie Info

This documentary follows Kamala Lopez as she journeys across the country to learn what women think about their lives, and how or if they want them to change. The interviews will tell the stories of four generations of American women grappling with the status of their rights, the issues they face and how these have impacted our society. Kamala will talk with women from the well-known, such as Patricia Arquette, and Gloria Steinem to the unknown, including gang girls and hotel maids, to ask how being female impacts daily life, whether economically, politically or socially.

In her ambitious film, Equal Means Equal, Kamala Lopez points out that "72% of Americans are completely invested in the false belief that the genders are explicitly equal under the U.S. Constitution."

An illuminating and hard-hitting documentary that makes a solid case for equal rights for women.

Spirituality and Practice

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.
