Recently, the GB Media Club watched the movie All of Us Strangers. We had mixed feelings about the movie, finding it to be a bit slow and the protagonist to be underdeveloped. That being said, there were some emotionally resonant moments as well. We give it 2.75 stars out of 5.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! In honor of today, we wanted to shout out a few of our partners who are dedicated to supporting women through their work: @GrameenFdn, @guttmacher, @everymomcounts, @Data2X, and @NYWomensFdn. Visit their pages to learn more!

In an effort to switch things up, we’re transitioning from GB Book Club to GB Media Club. With that in mind, this month we’re planning on watching the movie All of Us Strangers. Stay tuned for our review! 🎞️ 🍿
