Dive Brief:

• The maker of a documentary about women who work in the construction industry is raising money through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.com to pay for the film.

• The documentary, Hard Hatted Woman, follows five women in the building trades as they work on job sites and talk about the challenge of working in a male-dominated field and their reasons for choosing to make careers for themselves in construction.

• The Huffington Post has posted a related video, in which interviewers talk with tradeswomen about workplace culture and how their male colleagues have responded to having women on job sites.

Dive Insight:

In a field where women populate less than 3% of the workforce, the women in the documentary want to show that they don't back down in the face of sexism. No word on when the film will be released, but keep up with the film on its website here.
