Inspired by Eve Rodsky’s New York Times bestselling book, Fair Play takes a deep look at domestic inequity as Rodsky takes us on her journey to change the unfair work dynamic in her own home and in society at large. By following three families on their own journeys to find balance at home, we see how even the smallest fights around dirty dishes are actually linked to systemic issues affecting millions of families across the globe.
Written, produced, and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom (Miss Representation, The Mask You Live In), Fair Play features experts including Melinda French Gates and the US Representative from California’s 45th district, Katie Porter. Fair Play demonstrates how private lives are public issues. By making the invisible care work historically held by women visible, Fair Play inspires a more equitable and intentionally balanced future.
