Free The Nipple is now a movie: When Lina Esco created the #FreeTheNipple hashtag in protest against female oppression and censorship she may never have imagined it would come to be supported worldwide and garner support from the likes of Lena Dunham, Cara Delevingne, Liv Tyler and Miley Cyrus. Now the story of the fearless #FreeTheNipple campaigners goes further and has been made into a movie of the same name, which will be in cinemas soon. The film is focused – like the movement – on the important question, “Why is my nipple more obscene than a murder?” It encourages women to promote gender equality through the act of going topless – something that is illegal in many countries across the globe. Lina Esco and the founders of the movement – which has taken the internet by storm – express in their mission statement that their aim is to fight against “female oppression and censorship” and “empower women” the world over. The film will star Lina Esco herself alongside Gone Girl actress Lola Kirke and follows a group of friends doing something extraordinary and taking action by invading the streets of New York with topless women, activist groups and graffiti artists to wage a war for women’s freedom. Miley Cyrus, perhaps the most fervent fan of the campaign, has reportedly done a cover of the track, “Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma” which will play at the movie’s close.
