Synopsis

Hollywood's early days were shaped by pioneering women, yet their contributions have largely been erased from history. Alice Guy directed the first talkie, and Lois Weber produced the first color film, directing over 300 movies in a decade. Frances Marion wrote for star Mary Pickford and won two Oscars, while Dorothy Arzner became Hollywood's most influential director. Despite their pivotal roles, these women have been forgotten. It wasn't until 2010 that Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the Best Director Oscar. This documentary seeks to uncover the untold stories of the women who significantly shaped film history, despite their long-standing underrepresentation.
