As is your due

About This Movie

So, there's this 1999 documentary, "As is your due," which dives into a fascinating slice of Cambridge's history. It centers around the milestone of women finally getting full membership at the university in 1947. The film captures this poignant reunion on July 4, 1998, where over nine hundred women who studied before ’48 gathered to celebrate. The tone is reflective, almost nostalgic, as it weaves together personal stories and broader themes of gender equality and academic struggle. The pacing flows gently, allowing viewers to soak in the emotional weight of the occasion. It's really the voices of these women that stand out, each with their unique journey, making it a distinctive piece of cinema that speaks to resilience and change.
