STATUS QUO? THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF FEMINISM IN CANADA
Karen Cho / CA / 2012 / 87 ' / English

Feminism has shaped the society we live in. But just how far has it brought=
 us, and how relevant is it today? Status Quo? asks these questions and unc=
overs provocative - at times shocking - answers about the evolution of wome=
n's equality in Canada. Interweaving a wealth of dynamic archival material =
with startling contemporary stories, the film situates the vibrant Canadian=
 women's movement in its history-making context. In 1967 the landmark Toyal=
 Commission on the Status of Women made recommendations to address the ineq=
ualities faced by women. Now, Status Quo? zeroes in on key concerns such as=
 violence against women, access to abortion, and universal childcare, askin=
g how much progress we have truly made on these issues. Status Quo? is cruc=
ial viewing for every Canadian, especially those unfamiliar with the vital =
achievements of the feminist movement. This striking, in-depth documentary =
pays homage to Canada's feminist forerunners and raises important questions=
 about where and how we should move on from here.=20
