Airdate: Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story

Documentary special Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story screens this week at SBS VICELAND.

Based on the best-selling book by Mollie Gregory, Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story introduces audiences to the secret stars who provide the action and thrills that make the best Hollywood movies and television, from the first black-and-white ‘flickers’ to today’s high-tech mega-epics.

These unheralded heroines are the generations of stuntwomen who risked their lives in front of the camera, while behind it they fought for equal rights with male stunt performers, battled sexism and harassment, sustained life-threatening injuries and returned to the fray after each battle.

Wednesday, 1 December at 8.30pm on SBS VICELAND.
