Alex Cooper, Barbara Walters Documentary Films show conflicts for women in the media

– To the top. At the New York Film Film Festival last week, two new documentaries, although they were completely different, had something common. Barbara Walters: Tell me everything and Call her AlexThe two-part documentary about PodCaster Alex Coper now showed Hulu, both of which showed what it takes to reach the top of male-dominated business-in two different times.

Tell me everything The story of Barbara Walters follows, the first woman to participate in a news program in the United States in the United States, which first appeared in this role in ABC in 1976, breaking the most difficult glass ceiling for women in the press and television. Director Jackie Jesko’s movie continued to collapse the barriers, from her famous interviews, in the famous interviews, to her late life. SceneryBesides her personal conflicts. While she got married, divorced, and gave birth to a child, her personal life often suffered, noting the documentary. “Her job was the love of her life,” says one of the camera head on the camera.

“She was an incredibly ambitious woman who loved work, she liked to be on TV, she liked to hill in the chase, she liked to compete,” says Gisco. “I got a lot of joy – it is not always necessary to be a huge personal life that brings joy to someone.” “We grew up with her – and did not realize what she was really doing as a woman, and that she was the only woman in the room, and the type of battles she had,” added Jin Rosental, Foundation and CEO of the company behind the Tripika Film Festival.

However, the other women specified for the age in the media, including Oprah Winfrey and Katy Korik, are reflected in the documentary on how the Walters path affects their own options. Corik says she knows she does not want to sacrifice her family life in her career, after seeing Walters.

Which leads us to the upcoming documentary Tribeca. Alex Cooper, host Call her father And the media behind the network is fine, it was often called the millennium or Jin with Opera. in Tell me everything, Winfrey remembers Walters to know how to succeed as a journalist on the air. Without Barbara, there will be no opera. Without opera, there will be no Alex.

Bani Cooper built Call her father Within Barstool Sports, other male media company. Her new documentary is tracked by her upbringing, experience Sexual harassment in college They now say that the motivation for her is not silenced again, and her podcast clips.

While I struggled with the lack of private security on her appearance, another topic Tell me everythingCooper shares her most personal experiences and challenges with her fans. “Not only did she build an audience, but she built a movement,” said Rosental while presenting. Call her Alex. Instead of being filled with another person’s platform – like the TV network – Coper managed to build it.

Despite all these clear differences, watching movies in succession, it is clear that Cooper and Walters are sharing a lot. “I am a competitive mother *******.” “I am difficult for myself.”

As far as the media industry changed – the drive was not to reach the top.
