A Feminist Moms Guide to Getting it Right.

1. It doesn’t matter what you try and teach, they will rebel.
2. Whatever you do, don’t agree!
3. Try to please everyone, yeah, that always works…
4. Accept your daughter, in all her decisions….
5. BUT whatever you do, involve yourself in all areas of her life!
6. It doesn’t matter your advice, they will figure it out on their own.

An absolute joy to watch and laughter in every frame this film intersects feminism, politics, religion, and familial affairs perfectly and light heartedly yet still addressing present day issues surrounding women. Focused more on feminism, this mother daughter team bring back the all too familiar struggles of growing up and forming an identity in the world and all its confusion.
