Now available to stream, Death to Thirty is a documentary that highlights the unique experiences and challenges the societal narratives surrounding women and the age of 30.
Directed by Ore Badmus and produced by Oluwatunmise Oluyede (also credited as the writer), the film takes a unique data-driven approach to the subject by weaving together the lived experiences of diverse women, ranging from their early 20s to late 30s, with qualitative interviews and a survey of 119 women.
These powerful first-hand accounts, through data visualizations from the survey, offer a glimpse into the joys, anxieties, and societal expectations they face at different stages of their lives.
“This film is a testament to the power of personal stories and data to spark critical conversations,” says director Ore Badmus. “With this documentary, I hope to empower women to define the terms of their success and happiness beyond the confines of age. As some women shared during our social activities, ‘Aging is beautiful. 30 is returning to yourself…everything is better.’”
Death to Thirty promises to delve into the captivating journey of a woman navigating societal expectations and personal growth around the pivotal age of 30, exploring the complexities of their journey through intimate storytelling and insightful research.
Death To Thirty is available to stream on the film’s website.
