'The men ran the town how they wanted'

Hollywood became an ideal that was entirely run by men, one activist says, in the wake of global calls for women to be paid the same as men for the same kind of work. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Mike Johnson hears from Melissa Silverstein from equality group Women and Hollywood about the momentum the equal pay movement has gained - and why it took so long to emerge.
