Everyone should see this
Still Working 9 to 5 screened as part of the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and - deservedly - came away with the award for Best Documentary.
A sharp, expertly crafted film it manages to adroitly balance humour with an important subject, very much in the same way as the film which it examines.
This highly accomplished piece of documentary-making skillfully weaves footage from the original film, archive footage and new interviews with the stars of the film, to put a spotlight on the original ambitions and challenges of 9 to 5 and considers how they are just as relevant and just as problematic today.
It's a film that deserves - nay needs - a wide audience, in order that it's important and expertly told message can impact as many people as possible.
