Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Bette Midler, Janelle Monáe In THE GLORIAS Based on Gloria Steinem Autobiography

Watch Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander as Gloria Steinem in the brand new trailer for THE GLORIAS.

The film will be On Digital and Streaming Exclusively on Prime Video September 30.

Journalist, fighter, and feminist Gloria Steinem is an indelible icon known for her world-shaping activism, guidance of the revolutionary women’s movement, and writing that has impacted generations. In this nontraditional biopic, Julie Taymor crafts a complex tapestry of one of the most inspirational and legendary figures of modern history, based on Steinem’s own biographical book ‘My Life on the Road.’

THE GLORIAS (Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Lulu Wilson, Ryan Keira Armstrong) traces Steinem’s influential journey to prominence—from her time in India as a young woman, to the founding of Ms. magazine in New York, to her role in the rise of the women’s rights movement in the 1960s, to the historic 1977 National Women’s Conference and beyond.

THE GLORIAS includes a number of iconic women who made profound contributions to the women’s movement, including Dorothy Pitman Hughes (Janelle Monáe), Flo Kennedy (Lorraine Toussaint), Bella Abzug (Bette Midler), Dolores Huerta (Monica Sanchez) and Wilma Mankiller (Kimberly Guerrero).

Taymor gives us her singular take on that rare genre- the Female Road Picture, one in which the female leads do not die in the end, and where the “narrative” is not driven by romance or a bad marriage, or unrequited love or, for that matter, men. Gloria’s road story is about her “Meetings With Remarkable Women”. And that is a love story in itself.

When Steinem was asked how she feels about the movie:

I hope this story will inspire viewers to tell their own stories. After all, our brains are not organized by facts and statistics, but by narrative. As the famous quote by Muriel Rokeyser goes, “The universe is made up of stories, not atoms.” We have been sitting around campfires for all of human history, learning from each other in this way, and movies are a current campfire.
