Told for the first time on screen, the Stan Original Film I Am Woman is an inspiring biopic of Australian singer-songwriter Helen Reddy.
The Grammy-award winning artist was responsible for co-writing and singing ‘I Am Woman’ – a song that went on to become the anthem for the women’s movement in the 1970s.
I Am Woman is the story of Helen Reddy, who in 1966 arrived in New York from Melbourne, with her three-year-old daughter, a suitcase and $230 in her pocket.
Within weeks she was broke. Within months she was in love. Within five years she was one of the biggest superstars of her time, and an icon of the 1970s feminist movement, who wrote a song which galvanised a generation of women to fight for change.
Directed by Unjoo Moon (The Zen of Bennett), I Am Womanwas written by Emma Jensen (Mary Shelley), produced by Rosemary Blight (The Sapphires, The Invisible Man) with Unjoo Moon.
The film stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey (Hotel Mumbai) as Helen Reddy, Danielle Macdonald (Dumplin’) as Lillian Roxon and Evan Peters (American Horror Story: Cult) as Jeff Wald.
The film was shot in Sydney, Australia, by Oscar®-winning cinematographer Dion Beebe (Mary Poppins Returns, Memoirs of a Geisha).
