Horizon: Life Story (1987)
Very Excellent

I am involved in research myself, and I thought this movie portrayed perfectly what female scientists had to deal with in the 50s just to present their work and have it taken seriously! This is a painful, accurate, and meaningful film. I only wish more people could see it. The actress who plays Rosalind must have been active in science to understand that she had to play the role as icily as possible, simply because that is what the life choices of Franklin boiled down to: be emotionless or useless to the scientific community. I loved it, and I think every female who must publish, present, or argue for her research/work must watch this film to understand what is at stake and what "the worst case scenario" actually entails.
