Women and girls made up just 30% of the leading film roles in the top-major 100 pictures of 2023...
representing a 14 percentage point drop from the year before;
only 11% of 2023’s top 100 movies were gender-balanced,
the lowest percentage since records first kept in 2007.*
One of the experts behind the study, Dr. Stacy L. Smith conducted a brief general analysis of female under-representation: "No matter how you examine the data, 2023 was not the ‘Year of the Woman.’ We continue to report the same trends for girls and women on screen, year in and year out. It is clear that there is either a dismissal of women as an audience for more than one or two films per year, a refusal to find ways to create meaningful change, or both.
If the industry wants to survive its current moment, it must examine its failure to employ half the population on screen".

A more subtle, powerful, pervasive and primordial role empowering women everywhere throughout history…. the archetype of the Great Mother…. the most respected and adored archetypal role empowering women …? Well known, but not as nearly widely portrayed ! Are there really so few comparatively well known and universally celebrated heroines and stories portraying the Great Mother archetype, contributed by film into the collective consciousness of humanity ?
‘ Believe ‘ promises to add balance to remedy that gap forever.
The Quintessential Female Archetype:
Mothering the Man-Child into Heroism…
Corrupt village officials sacrifice an outcast woodcutter, condemning him to an impossible war-time mission. The teenage baker's daughter’s admiration for him, triggers her protective instincts. She rebels against the villagers’ plans to marry her to a rich, old merchant. Instead, with love’s burning light deep inside to guide her, she sparks the courage to save the woodcutter, thrusting the pair into a struggle through war-torn history. Her self-discovery of primordial impulses ignites her survival instincts with an ardent obsession for self-belief, which she nurtures inside the woodcutter, to believe in himself and their love for each other, mothering the man-child she admires and inflaming within him the fervor to meet his super-human challenge, and together they transform themselves and the world at war around them, with the power to believe.
A giant woodcutter’s orphaned childhood makes him vulnerable prey for the corrupt village headman, exploiting the woodcutter's great strength for cheap labour. In his simple mind the only solution the woodcutter can find, is to seek refuge high up in his mountain homeland; but instead, the headman banishes him on a mission of certain death to the battlefront. The only two people that love him, come to his rescue, and trusting in their ardent pleas despite his doubts and fears, he agrees skeptically to follow their plan to save himself. Ignited with the impassioned zeal of the bakery maid’s power of self-belief, he rises, inflamed with fervour, to meet the superhuman challenge to defeat an all powerful enemy, to redeem his place in the world….
