The Red Pill

The Red Pill is a documentary in which filmmaker Cassie Jaye turns her camera on the Men's Rights Movement in the United States. A self-described feminist, Jaye sets out to record a world she expects to find hostile to women, but the encounters she has while making the film lead her to examine her own assumptions about gender, power and privilege. The result follows her shifting perspective rather than arguing a fixed position, and it frames the broader debate over gender equality through the movement's members and their grievances.

Jaye directed the film and produced it with Nena Jaye and Anna Laclergue under the banner Jaye Bird Productions. She also appears on screen as herself, alongside participants including Alison Tieman, Attila Vinczer, Barbara Smith, Ben Evans and Brian de Matos; the credited cast runs to 38 people. The documentary runs 118 minutes and was released in October 2016.

Audience response has been positive, with the film holding a rating of 7.5 out of 10 on TMDB from 226 votes.
