The Leadership
Feature documentary
In 2016, a voyage of 76 international scientists set sail for Antarctica under the guidance of an Australian corporate leadership coach. In a newly-Trump, pre-MeToo era, these inspirational women reveal the systemic and deeply personal challenges they face to maintain fulfilling careers in STEM. Set amongst the stunning backdrop of the world’s last untouched wilderness, the film demonstrates why we need diversity in STEM to solve the world’s most pressing problems. THE LEADERSHIP spans five continents over two years. The unforeseen challenges these women face both on board and beyond, mean the film ultimately asks: what do we need to change to make the world more equal – ourselves, or the systems and cultures that shape us?
