Abstract

In this article we analyze the film Fair Play, released in 2023 by Streaming Netflix, directed by Chloe Domont. In order to understand how gender relations impact the labor market and whether the term "Fair Game" fits within such a context. Methodologically, we work with the concept of Cultural Studies, understanding that a film is a representation of the society it seeks to portray from the point of view of its creators. Tacit, we realize that leadership positions are predominantly occupied by men, given that they are encouraged since childhood to occupy competitive places while women are educated for more subtle tasks, thus, at the end of the study we consider that Fair Play is not fair in terms of gender relations, since for a woman to ascend professionally, The effort tends to be greater if we compare it to man, not because of his lack of competence, but because of the system that objectifies them, taking away the merits of their achievements.
