#TradWives

RELEASE YEAR:
2019
The #TRADWIVES movement is an emerging phenomenon in the USA, focused on reverting to the traditional values of housewives in the ‘50s and early ‘60s. This documentary follows Chicago divorcee Jennifer, a super-fan of the 1953 book – and #TradWives’ bible – Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin, a book that encourages women to reject feminism.
Jenny is the movement’s most dedicated follower but her devotion is causing rifts with her friends and her LGBTQI daughter. She is sacrificing everything for this movement…but is it worth it?
