The documentary follows Hopkins, Burks and Willenbring through discussions of their respective careers and the barriers they faced as women in STEM. Among notable aspects of the documentary, Hopkins describes sexual harassment during her career and the fact that she was refused the same sized laboratory space in comparison to her male counterparts. Burks discusses similar issues of discrimination, including being confused with the janitor at her place of work solely based on her appearance, as well as her added experiences of racism as a black woman in science. Willenbring did not bring these allegations to light for fear of further harassment, not being believed, and the potential detrimental effects on her career. While a five-member BU faculty panel recommended that Marchant be suspended for three years without pay, the university president,
Robert A. Brown made the determination to fire Marchant. == References ==
