On May 2nd the Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Cinema Art Theater will present GENDER REVOLUTION: A JOURNEY WITH KATIE COURIC.
It used to be simple: You were a boy or you were a girl. Girls wore pink, and boys wore blue; girls played with dolls, and boys played with trucks. Yet around the globe, these traditional notions of gender are changing rapidly, and the labels are no longer so clear cut. National Geographic sets out to explore this evolving concept of gender through the lens of science, society and culture in the groundbreaking two-hour film GENDER REVOLUTION: A JOURNEY WITH KATIE COURIC.
GENDER REVOLUTION explores the complexities of gender in everyday life, from the moment we are born through our twilight years. To better understand this complex social and scientific issue, Couric crisscrossed the U.S. to talk with scientists, psychologists, activists, authors and families to learn more about the role of genetics, brain chemistry and modern culture on gender identity. With conversations that range from the scientifically enlightening to the deeply personal – and coinciding with the January issue of “National Geographic” magazine devoted to stores about gender from all over the world – Couric’s unflinching search for truth sheds light on countless untold stories of struggle, understanding, ignorance, hurt and love. [2017, USA, Runtime: 95 min.]
