It's based on true events , which just makes it even more thrilling.        In the course of the movie, you'll get to experience the burning desire of a seemingly oppressed gender (not so seemingly though🤣🤣🤣 women have actually been through a lot of shit 💔) who try to push for a better life ,better opportunities , equal ...
