The 25th anniversary of Thelma & Louise sparked conversation about feminist films and female filmmakers. Geena Davis, one of the stars of the film, launched the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2004. This institute which focuses on improving female roles in family entertainment makes its mission to "champion women and diverse voices in media." This institute is a great step in the right direction to address the lack of diverse voices in the media. Additionally, it combats the symbolic annihilation and silencing of marginalized groups.
