Women are still the largest consumers of broadcast media and yet are still underrepresented on and off screen and they still struggle to obtain leadership roles. Channel 4 Factual have been leading the way of changing this in the industry with over 50% of directors used being females for single films and limited series. A panel of expert directors discuss how an increased female perspective can progress documentary filmmaking across the board.
