The Red Pill is a fascinating movie that follows feminist film maker Cassie Jaye exploring the men's rights movement. Whilst she is expecting to find a movement of hidden misogyny what she find is nothing like that. Not only are the members of the movement reasonable people interested in gender equality, but their arguments that men currently suffer a great deal of disadvantages seem all too reasonable. The movie explores many of these arguments and the data that supports them without having the time to go into the issues in detail. As the film progresses we see Cassie questioning many of her previously firmly held beliefs, and the emotional journey this takes her on.
This film really is what the best documentaries should be, not just something that confirms the modern zeitgeist but a film that challenges the viewing to think about the world in a different way. Could it really be that we now live in a world where men are more disadvantaged than women, this is a film that will leave many believing that. In short this is simply the must see film of the year, if not the last few years.
