As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I really like this film. I loved seeing the first two examples of woman working with computers many years ago. I really liked hearing the woman tell their stories of how they started and what happened in their careers. I think the film is a great tool that should be used for female empowerment or as a motivation to get young ladies coding. I believe computer science is a very important and should be something added to high school curriculum so that everyone can learn the basics.

I found this film to very interesting and eye-opening. I am not a coder and don't have any interest in being one. What interested me was the gender bias and subsequent gender gap that is in the industry. I am probably surprised because I am a male in a typically male-dominated field, I am sure my views would be different if that were not the case. I think this film should be used as a kind of recruitment tool to get young women interested in the coding career. It could also be used to encourage young women to pursue careers or opportunities in fields that they may not otherwise consider because of the typical gender roles in those fields. I would say that overall if you're open-minded this one is worth watching.

I loved this documentary and the facts that it gave. It gave some viable information on how the gender for coding will be affected. I agree that they should offer more computer technology before college. It gave several examples of different things that coders do. The video made me realize that there are way more things than I knew about that needed coding. I can totally see where they were coming from that men are more likely to due the computer type of work for coding.

This film should be mandatory viewing at the earliest possible moment in junior high education. It should also be critiqued and critically written about at the high school level. Upon entry into a college setting that should be one of the first mandatory classes for freshman entering into the collegiate setting. This may seem excessive but I believe it to be one of the more important issues for developing young people. The idea of teaching young people appropriate behaviors is not new. But the idea that such a promising job field, which is critical to all developing nations, can be corrupted and brought low simply by lowbrow, idiot behavior is simply to important to ignore.
