DESCRIPTION:About the film\nLike drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, 
 Miss Representation (90 min) uncovers a glaring reality we live with every 
 day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the 
 film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of 
 women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges 
 the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, 
 which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for 
 the average woman to feel powerful herself.\nIn a society where media is 
 the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message 
 that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s 
 value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her 
 capacity as a leader.  While women have made great strides in leadership 
 over the past few decades, the United States is still 90th in the world for 
 women in national legislatures, women hold only 3% of clout positions in 
 mainstream media, and 65% of women and girls have disordered eating 
 behaviors.\nStories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with 
 politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, like 
 Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, 
 Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem build momentum as Miss Representation 
 accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience 
 shaken and armed with a new perspective.\n
