\"First<\/a>
Angelina Jolie co-wrote, directed and produced the historical biopic, First They Killed My Father, which has been honored with the 2017 Best Foreign Film By or About Women award from the Women Film Critics Circle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the most important and prominent agendas of 2017 has been the solidarity of women standing together to defend themselves, especially during the recent uprising against sexual misconduct. The revolution has become especially prevalent in Hollywood, as actresses and female filmmakers continue to strive to protect their advancements and achievements in movies.<\/p>\n

The Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC), the first national American association of women critics, supports the protection and accurate representation of women in media. The group voted on the best representations of women in films released this year. It honored the strengths of such movies as Lady Bird and First They Killed My Father.<\/p>\n

WFCC is an association of 80 women film critics and scholars from around the country and internationally, who are involved in print, radio, online and TV broadcast media. Launched in 2004, WFCC became the first women critics’ organization in the United States, in the belief that women’s perspectives and voices in film criticism need to be recognized fully. WFCC also prides itself on being the most culturally and racially diverse critics group in the country by far, and best reflecting the diversity of movie audiences.<\/p>\n
