at her decision to protest the Vietnam war and gives her opinion of the #time'sup and #MeToo movements. 9 to 5 is a gloriously feminist revenge comedy that sees three put-upon office workers turn the tables on their sleazy boss. Judy (Fonda), Violet (Tomlin) and Doralee (Parton) couldn’t be more different from each other, but they bond over being mistreated by their boss: he yells at Judy on her first day, consistently takes credit for Violet’s ideas and sexually harasses Doralee. Fed up with him, and the sexist practices of their office, they dream of his removal. Based on an idea by Fonda, who had just formed her own production company, this is a brazen comedy that wears its politics on its sleeve. With an inspiring friendship at its heart, it’s a film that celebrates women supporting each other – and feels more relevant now than ever before. 9 to 5 is currently screening nationwide as part of the BFI's Comedy Genius season: https://www.bfi.org.uk/whats-on/bfi-film-releases/nine-to-five Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI Watch more on BFI Player: http://player.bfi.org.uk/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BritishFilmInstitute Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/britishfilminstitute/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BFI
