Still Working 9 to 5: Film Screening and Conversation

Join The 19th and Boone Family Foundation for a free Austin screening of . This engaging and entertaining documentary provides an intimate look at the making of 9 to 5, the iconic 1980 box office hit starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, and Texas native Dabney Coleman. The film not only sparked laughter but also ignited a cultural movement for gender equality, inspired by the real-life trailblazers who led the fight for workplace equity.

It's been than forty years since 9 to 5 spotlighted issues such as pervasive gender discrimination and widespread sexual harassment in offices across the nation, and the themes remain strikingly relevant. The documentary delves into the continuing gender gaps in pay and power that still abound in nearly every industry.

Let's talk about the progress made and the critical work that still lies ahead. The screening begins at 6:00 p.m. and will be followed by a moderated panel discussion and time for conversation. Refreshments will be served. RSVP now to save your spot!
