"Still Working 9 to 5" reunites stars Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman from the original "9 to 5" film, as well as Rita Moreno from the "9 to 5" TV series, Allison Janney from the Broadway musical, and other stars from the television and stage versions of the classic film. Also featured are activists and individuals closely associated with the women's movement, both now and then. The documentary explores the comedic tone of the film and how it resonated with a wide audience at a time when the feminist message was being rejected and/or feared by a large swathe of the population. It further follows how the success of the film spawned various "9 to 5" spin-offs, including a TV series (1980s) and musicals (2009 & 2019), discussing the same issues addressed in the film (and its spin-offs) and questions if the message retains its original poignancy, as well as examining what has and has not changed for women in the workplace over the last 40 years.

This is a straightforward talking-heads and archival-footage kind of project. But the access to the films stars and producers, as well as notable feminist activists spanning the first and third waves of feminism, is what makes this documentary appealing.
