I came across this video on from various sites today. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8th, weareequals.org commissioned this video. “Directed by acclaimed ‘Nowhere Boy‘ director/conceptual artist Sam Taylor-Wood, scripted by Jane Goldman (‘Kick Ass’) and featuring the voice of Dame Judi Dench reprising her role as ‘M’, the film will be screened in cinemas and streamed online in a bid to highlight the levels of inequality that persist between men and women in the UK and worldwide. It is the first film featuring Bond to be directed by a woman.”
I know I live a privileged life thanks to the women in my family, my friends and mentors. Yet there are many, many women who are still dealing with strife in all parts of the world. The idea behind IWD is to keep the dialogue going in terms of gender equality and how to improve women’s life around the globe. Let’s hope one day, the notion of gender equality is no longer an issue and we can focus on how to make the planet equal for ALL.
