The Disappearance of Shere Hite

Directed by Nicole Newnham
Starring Dakota Johnson

Shere Hite’s 1976 pioneering study of women’s sexuality, “The Hite Report,” sold millions of copies but also triggered a ferocious backlash from the media. Her findings rocked the American establishment and presaged current conversations about gender, sexuality, and bodily autonomy. So how did Shere Hite just disappear?  screening at Storyhouse on the weekend following International Women’s Day, this eye opening documentary by Nicole Newnham (Crip Camp) sheds light on a strangely forgotten voice of the feminist movement.
