For Strong Women: Q&A with 9TO5 dirs Julia Reichert & Steve Bognar and editor Jaime Meyers Schlenck, & JULIA SCOTTI: FUNNY THAT WAY dir Susan Sandler & subject Julia Scotti

Today at NFF NOW: AT HOME we’re spotlighting stories of indomitable women!

9TO5: THE STORY OF A MOVEMENT - In the early 1970s, a group of secretaries in Boston decided that they had suffered in silence long enough. They started fighting back, creating a movement to force changes in their workplaces.

JULIA SCOTTI: FUNNY THAT WAY - Decades ago, Julia Scotti performed as Rick Scotti, and appeared on bills with Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock. Now, the trans comedian returns to the stage as “the crazy old lady of comedy,” in this tender, funny, and triumphant comeback story. WORLD PREMIERE!

Take a look at these two insightful interviews, and celebrate the power of women by watching these two stories now through June 30.
