    Spice Girls: How Girl Power Changed Britain is a three-part British television documentary produced and directed by Vari Innes, Alice McMahon-Major, and Jessica Ranja. The documentary examines modern feminism in the United Kingdom, particularly "girl power", through the lives and legacy of British girl group the Spice Girls.[1]

    The production company 72 Films was commissioned to produce the series by Channel 4 in 2020, under the working title Girl Powered: The Spice Girls.[2] Spice Girls: How Girl Power Changed Britain premiered on Channel 4 from 14 to 28 September 2021.[3]

    Critical response

    [edit]

    The premiere received generally positive reviews. The Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson called it a "fabulous and intimate" documentary and gave it four out of five stars.[4] Elizabeth Aubrey of The Independent similarly gave the premiere four out of five stars, finding it to be a "damning" critique of the music industry in the 1990s.[5] James Jackson of The Times gave the episode three out of five stars and concluded that it was "an intelligent bit of back-to-the-1990s nostalgia layered with dismay at the era's laddism."[6] The Daily Telegraph's Kat Brown also gave it three stars, finding the lack of input from the Spice Girls themselves to be a notable omission.[7]
