A Fine Line(2018)

A Fine Line is a documentary that investigates the stark gender imbalance in professional kitchens, where women make up just 6% of head chefs and restaurant owners despite their historical dominance in home cooking. The film examines why this disparity persists in an industry built on culinary traditions passed down through generations of women. Through interviews and on-the-ground reporting, it uncovers the systemic barriers, workplace culture, and institutional obstacles that have pushed women to the margins of fine dining and restaurant leadership. A Fine Line challenges assumptions about meritocracy in the culinary world and asks hard questions about whose voices shape modern gastronomy. The documentary serves as both a reckoning and a call to action for an industry that has yet to fully acknowledge or address its gender problem.
