The “Glass Ceiling” is an American expression referring to the invisible, impalpable barrier that prevents women from reaching the same level as men in their careers. Using this metaphor as the title for her documentary, Yamina Benguigui examines the integration of immigrants in the workplace. For her, the comparison between immigrants and women is relevant because they face the same challenges: the issue is not necessarily about finding work, but about being hired for positions of responsibility that correspond to their educational backgrounds. Excerpts from the film are on view here in the Video Library.
