The Spice Girls’ ‘Wannabe’ gets feminist with a multicultural cast in an ode to gender equality


It’s been 20 years since The Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” was released, giving rise to the words “girl power.” And, as it turns out, girls still want, really, really want a whole lot of things, namely gender equality. “I think this film is a wonderful idea,” said former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham to The Guardian. The Spice Girls were about a group of different women joining together and being stronger through that bond. These differences are what we want to celebrate in this film, while showing there are some universal things that all girls, everywhere, really, really want.” The multicultural video features artists from India, Nigeria, South Africa, the UK, USA and Canada, including Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, British hip-hop group M.O.
