The 2020 film "The Glorias," a biopic chronicling the life of feminist activist and author Gloria Steinem, is accessible for streaming and digital purchase.
Directed by Julie Taymor, the movie is based on Steinem's 2015 memoir "My Life on the Road." The film features multiple actresses portraying Steinem at different stages of her life. Ryan Kiera Armstrong plays young Steinem, Alicia Vikander portrays her as a college graduate traveling in India, and Julianne Moore embodies the activist in her later years.
The supporting cast includes Bette Midler as Bella Abzug, Janelle Monáe as Dorothy Pitman Hughes, and Lorraine Toussaint as Florynce Kennedy, all prominent feminist figures who worked alongside Steinem.
"The Glorias" premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and received a mixed critical reception. It was released directly to digital platforms in the fall of 2020, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
