Equal Means Equal has been described as an unflinching look at the current state of gender inequity, and it truly is unflinching. It's powerful and emotionally raw, exposing the nefarious webs of discrimination against women in an extremely well organized and pointed manner. The most poignant and hard hitting interview of the film is one of a young rape victim describing how she had to walk down her street, bloody, while people stared and no one asked her if she needed help or if she was okay. Gender based discrimination and violence are so everyday and expected, we almost expect this type of treatment for victims and survivors. This should be required viewing for students and legislators.
