- With Hillary Clinton's historic campaign finally kaput, feminists are left wondering: who's next? To that end, the documentary What's Your Point, Honey? profiles seven possibilities for the next female president. The film follows a group of college students involved with Project 2024 — co-sponsored by CosmoGIRL! magazine and The White House Project — devoted to grooming female candidates for the 2024 presidential election via high-powered internships and leadership training. A clarion call for gender equality in politics, the non-preachy film (the f-word isn't even uttered) weaves young women's ambitions with observations from Gloria Steinem, some piquant statistics on female political power, and a few hilarious asides from a posse of ten-year-old girls. – Suzanne Niemoth
