I Am Woman: Helen Reddy Story

I Am Woman is a biopic drama based on the life and career of Australia's Helen Reddy.

The Stan Original Film tells the inspiring story of Helen Reddy a fearlessly ambitious and passionate singer who wrote and sang the song "I Am Woman" which went on to become the anthem for the women's movement in the 1970s.

1966. Helen Reddy arrives in New York with her three-year-old daughter a suitcase and $230 in her pocket. She had been told she'd won a recording contract but the record company promptly dashes her hopes by telling her it has enough female stars and suggests she has fun in New York before returning home to Australia.

Helen without a visa decides to stay in New York anyway and pursue a singing career struggling to make ends meet and provide for her daughter. There she befriends legendary rock journalist Lillian Roxon who becomes her closest confident. Lillian inspires her to write and sing the iconic song "I Am Woman" which becomes the anthem for the second wave feminist movement and galvanises a generation of women to fight for change. She also meets Jeff Wald a young aspiring talent manager who becomes her agent and husband. Jeff helps her get to the top but he also suffers from a drug addiction which gradually turns their relationship toxic.

Caught in the treadmill of fame and dependent on Jeff to manage her professional life Helen finds the strength to take control of her own career and keep pursuing her dreams.

REVIEW: I Am Woman

The women's movement started with one voice - Helen Reddy. Tilda Dothan-Hervey is spot on in her portrayal and Director Unjoon Moon brings this feminist story to the big screen with respectful empathy and understand the plight women have had to endure
