In celebration of International Women's Day 2021, we will be showing the documentary ‘Coded Bias’ as a part of Taking the Lead Film Festival.
Coded Bias explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all. 'Coded Bias' will be available to be watched online on Tuesday 9 March.

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality. The International Women's' Day theme for 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge.
Brimbank City Council is screening the feature documentary ‘Coded Bias’ online on Tuesday 9 March as part of the International Women's Day ‘Taking the Lead’ film festival. 'Coded Bias' is a timely, thought-provoking documentary from director Shalini Kantayya. It follows researcher Joy Buolamwini's discovery of racial and gender bias in facial recognition technology. The film explores the impact that such bias has on marginalized communities and how it can perpetuate society’s existing race and gender-based inequities. Coded Bias serves as both a wake-up call and a call to action.
