WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH ON HBO

In honor of Women’s History Month, HBO is celebrating all the influential women — both real and fictional — whose stories are available to stream on HBO NOW and HBO GO. To kick off the month, a new promo highlighting these women and their roles is being revealed today.

Starting Sunday, March 5, HBO will launch a month-long stunt featuring powerful female characters from HBO series like Game of Thrones, Westworld, Girls, VEEP and Insecure; thought-provoking documentaries like Gloria: In Her Own Words, Mavis!, The Trans List, and Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds; and female-centric theatrical films like Joy and Suffragette.

The “Women Make History” stunt is divided into 4 themed weeks: The First Wave (a mix of HBO Documentaries, HBO Films, and theatricals); Fictional, Influential (starring the fierce leading ladies of HBO’s original series); and two line-ups of HBO Documentaries: Judges, Journalists and Activists and Artists and Industry Pioneers. One film or series will be featured in the HBO NOW/HBO GO carousel each day, with social promotion planned around each title.

A full rundown of the films and the days they will be featured is below.
