As International Day of the Girl is being celebrated all over the globe during the month of October, Pioneers in Skirts®, a film about the obstacles limiting a woman or girls pioneering ambition, is proud to announce its streaming release on select online platforms.
Premiering during the pandemic to a global online audience of companies, schools and nonprofits, the documentary-style film is from Director Ashley Maria and Producer Lea-Ann W. Berst, a mother-daughter filmmaking team. Together they created an engaging socially conscious documentary that examines WHY women and girls have dashed expectations and addresses the stereotyping and sexism that can chip away at a woman, hurt her potential, and make her feel like she must re-think her dreams.
Viewers watch the film and find themselves empathizing with, and relating to, the characters and statistics featured. Some see that they are not alone. Many feel inspired – they see their role in the solution, and they feel motivated to act.
Since its launch in August 2020, the film has been part of group screening events that use the power of film to foster engagement, meaningful dialogue, and social impact.
“In late 2022 we started to show the film to in-person audiences,” shared Ashley. “That helped to propel our multi-year impact plan of reaching young ambitious women & girls, their families, and their support communities with a global call-to-action to stand with women and girls as they work to reach their full potential.”
“As our impact plan evolved, we decided to make the movie much more available to people who want to watch the movie at home with their families,” added Lea-Ann. “Audiences often ask us about how a person could show the film to their daughter or son or partner – so we’re excited we found an easy way for people to watch Pioneers in Skirts at home!”
The film is available for individual viewing on select streaming channels and television apps, like:
Apple TV – own or rent
Prime Video – own or rent
Curiosity Stream – with subscription
TubiTV – stream with ads
