An Englishman living in the Spanish countryside awkwardly tries to reconnect with his family when his daughter's visit brings unexpected news.

Launching its first trailblazing issue in 1972 and still publishing today, Ms. magazine revolutionized the feminist movement, igniting provocative conversations about issues that impact women, from politics to harassment, race, sex, and abortion. A three-part film directed by filmmakers Salima Koroma, Alice Gu, and Cecilia Aldarondo, the documentary selects iconic cover stories to explore the complexities of creating a magazine that was unafraid to wrestle with challenging, and often polarizing, issues. More than 50 years since its genesis, Ms. magazine's editors and contributors, including co-founders Gloria Steinem, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Pat Carbine, and first editor Suzanne Braun Levine, reveal the origin story of this trailblazing publication – how it defied the odds, transformed its readers, and continually fought to uphold its ideals in the face of resistance.
