The new Wonder Woman film has been called a “gloriously badass breath of fresh air” and has been credited with redefining the superhero movie and inspiring a generation of young women.

To celebrate the film’s impact, Juneau’s Aiding Women in Abuse and Rape Emergencies (AWARE) will host a screening on Friday, June 9, at 7 p.m. at Gross Alaska Glacier Cinema.

Directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot in the titular role, Wonder Woman has earned $125 million worldwide since its release on June 2, leading all movies at the box office.
