Biopic of journalist and feminist Gloria Steinem available on Sky and Now TV
Julie Taymor has teamed up with writer Sarah Ruhl for 'The Glorias', which also features Bette Midler as feminist and lawyer Bella Abzug
In this nontraditional biopic, Julie Taymor crafts a complex tapestry of one of the most inspirational and legendary figures of modern history, based on Gloria Steinem’s own memoir My Life on the Road. The Glorias (Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Lulu Wilson, Ryan Keira Armstrong) traces Steinem’s influential journey to prominence — from her time in India as a young woman, to the founding of Ms. magazine in New York, to her role in the rise of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s, to the historic 1977 National Women’s Conference and beyond, crossing paths with a number of iconic women who made profound contributions to the women’s movement, including Dorothy Pitman Hughes (Janelle Monáe), Flo Kennedy (Lorraine Toussaint), Bella Abzug (Bette Midler), and Wilma Mankiller (Kimberly Guerrero).
The Glorias is directed by Julie Taymor who has co-written the screenplay alongside Sarah Ruhl. It is produced by Page Fifty-Four Pictures, in association with FilmNation Entertainment and Artemis Rising Foundation.
