In line with the emphasis on media, both as a topic of discussion and as a major source of material for this course, I would like you to write a reflection paper based on a film of your choice that deals with women’s—or, more broadly, gender—issues. The film should be a popular entertainment type of movie, not a documentary or media piece from this course. You will be expected to address the content of the film not only in relation to the topics covered in the course but also in terms of its implications for gender (in)equality and social wok practice. The film is Hidden figures (2016)
