Greenlit: Girls Run The World, BBC3
Girls Run The World w/t (1 x 45′) – The charts are full of extraordinary female artists – Beyonce, Miley, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj… One of the brightest is Charli XCX – she has written tracks for the likes of Iggy Azalea and Rihanna, and is fast becoming a global pop star in her own right. But is it really so great to be a woman in music today? Are these increasingly liberated times when Miley and Minaj can twerk and jiggle their way through their routines while still proudly declaring themselves feminists? Or are female artists being exploited by an innately sexist industry?
In this film, Charli explores her own experiences as a modern pop star. We follow her on the road, playing shows at Glastonbury and in the States, as well as talking to fellow pop stars about the role of women in music today. Charli also meets her idol, Geri Halliwell, to discuss whether the 21st century is now the true era of ‘Girl Power’.
