THE RED PILLS tells the story of feminist filmmaker Cassie Jaye, who set out to make a film about the controversial and polarizing Men's Movement. After starting her production, she began to question her own beliefs about these organizations, who were supposedly hate groups aimed at turning back the clock on women's rights. Over time, she learned about the many ways that men are actually disadvantaged and discriminated against in society.
