Le réalisateur Tom Donahue met en avant des décennies de discrimination à l'égard des femmes derrière et devant la caméra, grâce notamment à une méthode inédite d’étude des données chiffrées, avec, à l’appui, des centaines de témoignages accablants. Plus important encore, le film cherche et propose des solutions qui vont au-delà de l'industrie du cinéma et bien au-delà des frontières américaines, à travers les témoignages de nombreuses voix d'Hollywood, dont Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Oh, Jessica Chastain, Chloë Grace Moretz, Shonda Rhimes, ou encore, Geena Davis, également productrice exécutive du film ; pour mettre en exergue ce qui peut et doit changer.
