When the wildly popular comedy, 9 to 5, starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman and Lily Tomlin, exploded on the cinema screens in 1980, the laughs hid a serious message about women in the office. The documentary Still Working 9 to 5 explores why workplace inequality 40 years later was never a laughing matter.

A film by Camille Hardman and Gary Lane (2022), Still Working 9 to 5 examines the 40‐year evolution of gender inequality and discrimination in the workplace since the 1980 release of the classic seminal comedy 9 to 5.
