The Leadership Film Screening and Panel Discussion – Adelaide

Given the uncertainty surrounding the recent COVID-19 outbreak in Adelaide and the new restrictions placed on cinemas, we have made the difficult decision to cancel The Leadership film screening and panel discussion.

Donate the price of your ticket to UN Women Australia. You may wish to forgo a refund in support of UN Women programs working to enable brighter futures for women and girls across the globe. If this is the case, there is nothing for you to do; your ticket will automatically be transferred to a donation. If you would like a tax-deductible receipt for this, please email [email protected].

You can still catch The Leadership, screening now on ABC iview. We encourage you to watch it and share with your friends, family and colleagues.

The Film

The world is crying out for a new model of leadership, but what is it? One woman thinks she has the answer. Australian CEO and leadership expert, Fabian Dattner, leads an international group of 76 female scientists on an Antarctic voyage designed to transform them “into the sort of leaders they want to be.” Her hope is that once these women are primed to lead in science, they will be able to make meaningful change around the world.

But on board, as the women’s deeply personal stories of workplace gender biases and more are revealed, Dattner’s own leadership style and philosophy is severely tested. Set against the planet’s last untouched wilderness, The Leadership delivers an unexpected and original reflection on what it takes to be a good leader, while unearthing the systemic obstacles to women’s advancement in science and beyond.

Directed by Ili Baré and produced by Greer Simpkin for Bunya Productions.
