RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
garygrimm48 The basic premise of this documentary is the glaring under-representation of women on the world of computer coding. This theme expands to include other minority groups, such as Girls, Girls from the Inner City and members of LGBT. A balance of history and factual persuasion throughout, the viewer is given an immediate heads up as to the significant but untold contribution of women in the history of computers and computer science. As for the boy dominated geek world of the 70s, 80s, 90s, through today, it is a reminder of how poorly mannered and perverse the modern "look at me" media world has been all along. My favorite parts come when I see young girls encouraged to understand and appreciate how much they have to offer the world.
hanster-54958 Overall, this was a successful documentary. I appreciated the voices from various age groups-there were kids as young as 10 and adults as old as 60 (or older) speaking about the same topic. There was a good balance of female to male speakers as. Females were the dominant voice in this documentary, but we heard from the occasional male speaker. The statistics were current, relevant and credible. I enjoyed the how the content in the film and how the film changed directions midway through from focusing on the need for females in the computer science workplace to the challenges of being a female in a male-dominated workplace. The music was subtle and effective. The written callouts displaying the names of all the speakers in the documentary were helpful and kept us oriented as to who was speaking. The facts were interesting, relevant and memorable. The documentary also effectively displayed he history about women in the computer science field.
bradymitchell-24854 Great video showing the gender gap in the coding and computer science industry. This video has great examples of women in the coding/computer science industry showcasing the systemic problem of sexism and prejudice against women in the tech industry. What I took away from this video was how I use my words and actions towards woman, in any industry, and how that can hinder the progress of women in said industry. Not standing by as sexist comments are said, taking actions to end that type language. Encouraging our youth that no matter your sex, race, ethnicity or religion, you can do anything you set your mind to. Don't let society or cultural biases shape what you can do when you grow up. Makes you think about how your actions and words that you use on a daily basis could potentially be holding back a particular demographic from advancing society.
cb-02850 This film should be mandatory viewing at the earliest possible moment in junior high education. It should also be critiqued and critically written about at the high school level. Upon entry into a college setting that should be one of the first mandatory classes for freshman entering into the collegiate setting. This may seem excessive but I believe it to be one of the more important issues for developing young people. The idea of teaching young people appropriate behaviors is not new. But the idea that such a promising job field, which is critical to all developing nations, can be corrupted and brought low simply by lowbrow, idiot behavior is simply to important to ignore.
