The 1980 comedy 9 to 5 had enormous appeal with moviegoers, but also made a statement about women's inequality in the workplace, a statement that's needed reiterating ever since then. The film had an impact on twin brothers Gary and Larry Lane, who head the team behind Still Working 9 to 5, a new documentary about the making and legacy of the classic film. Paul talked to them about making the doc, their history with Dolly Parton, and their upcoming world premiere at SXSW.
