The piece features female entertainers in various stages of their careers and lives, and attempts to explore their struggles as women in their selected fields. The Step Up Women's Network called Driven "the new doc you need to see", and notes that the film: "empowers women... to pursue seemingly impossible dreams". Dent acknowledged how critical he feels Driven's message is for today's audience: "We wanted to tell a story that would attempt to inspire those who do so much to inspire us - women".
