Swiped

Whitney Wolfe Herd joins the founding team at Tinder straight out of university and does the work that spreads the app across campuses. Then she falls out with the company, is written out of the founding, and the lawsuit she brings turns into a press campaign against her. Afterwards she builds an app where only women send the first message. Rachel Lee Goldenberg based the film on the real events and addresses sexism in the technology industry directly. Lily James leads. Its most notable quality is refusing to clear its protagonist entirely, since how she met similar problems inside the company she founded herself is also in the story. It played in Toronto and went out on Hulu and Disney+. Who it is for: viewers who like stories about the technology industry and biographies drawn from real events. Who it is not for: anyone wanting a story that leaves the template.
