00:19doesn't say anything but you see she's on the precipice of it you know she wants to say
00:25something and I think that was Maggie's first curiosity is like well what if this woman has
00:30something to say and to be able to give voice to that what if and to really find all the

00:45have been silenced or we didn't give ourselves permission to say at the time how I mean you
00:52can only imagine I loved it someone told me recently that only seven percent of the movies
00:57made last year were made by women but so many of the movies we are talking about this year
