If... It Was a Woman's World

Girls currently outperform boys academically and traditional male-dominated industries are on the wane - so are women better equipped for the world of the future? This drama-documentary takes a hypothetical leap to 2020, where men are becoming increasingly redundant - in the workplace, in the home, and even biologically. The first female president of the US favours dialogue over force in the fight against terrorism, while businesswoman Alice plans to have a baby on her own - at the age of 52.
