Six years ago, The White House Project and CosmoGIRL! joined forces, creating Project 2024, to get more young women involved in politics so that we could see a day when just as many women as men run for the highest office in the country — getting beyond gender to agenda.
It's not a matter of if but when a woman will become president of the United States. Will it be 2008? 2012? 2024? Who knows!?! What we do know is that it's inevitable. She's out there somewhere and just who she might be and when she'll take charge is changing from a fantasy to a reality.
Defining where women stand now and more importantly, how what happens today shapes what will happen tomorrow, the movie takes a (sometimes whimsical) look at possible female leaders of the future. Character-driven but not heavily story-driven by intent, the film emphasizes that there is no beginning, middle or ending to the ongoing "roll" of history. Portraits are painted of seven possible future leaders, the 2024 girls, underscoring one of the main themes of the film that it is not about one woman candidate running, but hopefully many someday.
Director/producer Susan Toffler and director/producer Amy Sewell set out to, at the very most, start a conversation, bridging generations about a topic lain dormant for decades, and at the very least, to provide a marker in time through a medium familiar and accessible by all. They wanted to document how women and young girls see themselves at a historical moment in time and thus provide a frame of reference to how far women have come and how far they still have to go.
