I Was a Teenage Feminist

About This Movie

I Was a Teenage Feminist dives into the often complicated relationship some young women have with feminism today. Therese Shechter, the filmmaker, uses her camera like a confidant, blending humor with serious introspection. It’s this mix that makes it so approachable yet poignant. The pacing is conversational, almost like you're on a road trip with a friend, exploring various viewpoints. You encounter a range of perspectives—some are playful, while others are quite serious, creating a rich tapestry of thoughts on empowerment. It's distinctive in how it doesn't shy away from uncomfortable questions, inviting viewers to reflect on their own identity within the feminist movement. Not your typical doc, it feels like a personal journey rather than just an exploration of a topic.
