This feature-length documentary film chronicles a groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. A biologist, a chemist and a geologist lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, overcoming brutal harassment, institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights to revolutionize the culture of science. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field sites, viewers encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.

A model of female empowerment, scientist Lynn Margulis fought the male establishment and, through her persistence, triumphed. As a young scientist in the 1960s, Margulis was ridiculed when she articulated a theory that symbiosis was a key driver of evolution. Instead of the mechanistic view that life evolved solely through random genetic mutations and competition, she presented a symbiotic narrative in which bacteria joined together to create the complex cells that formed animals, plants, and all other organisms. The idea that all of life is deeply interconnected and collaborative has radical implications for how we look at our selves, evolution, and the environment.

As one of the founders of modern neuroscience, it's no exaggeration to say that Dr. Marian Diamond changed science, and society at large, in dramatic ways over the course of her career. Enrichment, plasticity--capabilities of the brain we now take for granted--were the scientific battleground where she decisively challenged the old view and changed forever our understanding of the brain. Her groundbreaking work is all the more remarkable because it began during an era when so few women entered science at all. Shouted at from the back of the conference hall by noteworthy male academics as she presented her research, and disparaged in the scientific journals of a more conservative era, Dr. Diamond simply did the work and followed where her curiosity led her, bringing about a paradigm shift (or two) in the process.

A series of three short documentary films that show how women revolutionized the computing and Internet technology we use today, inspiring female students to believe that programming careers lie within their grasp. 
The Computers features the extraordinary story of the ENIAC programmers, six young women who programmed the world's first modern, programmable computer, ENIAC, as part of a secret WWII project. The Coders tells the story of two women, Sarah Allen and Pavni Diwanji, whose technologies revolutionized the Internet with their work on the invention of Flash and Java. In The Future Makers, Andrea Colaço, who invented 3D "gestural recognition technology" and co-founded 3dim to develop and market it, shares her dream of a world in which we interact with our smart devices using natural hand gestures, not static keyboards or touchpads.
