Immerse yourself in their journey, learn more about the struggles we face as women or women of colour in the field of science. The film is brutally honest but incredibly necessary, only by highlighting the difficulties we face as female scientists does the future change. These women have made incredible waves in science and only by understanding how many hurdles they have had to pass do we realise how strong and important their stories are.

After the screening, there are two panels on racism and gender that are open to the public, an outlet for your feelings and share your thoughts in our panel discussions with expert panellists there to answer questions and share their stories.
