I Am Woman

Unjoo Moon directs a biopic of Australian singer-songwriter Helen Reddy, who rose to worldwide fame with the feminist anthem I Am Woman. Helen (Tilda Cobham-Hervey) arrives in 1966 New York with her three-year-old daughter on the promise of a recording contract. Her hopes are cruelly dashed when the record company tells her that they have enough female talent on the roster and she should return home. Instead, Helen chooses to stay in America without a visa. She forges a close friendship with rock journalist Lillian Roxon (Danielle Macdonald) and captures the mood of the second wave of the feminist movement with her song I Am Woman. Aspiring talent manager Jeff Wald (Evan Peters) becomes her agent and later her husband. However, his drug addiction gradually poisons the relationship and Helen realises she must take control of her career.
