 "Miss 
 Representation"\n\nhttp://therepresentationproject.org/film/miss-representation-film/\n\nWritten 
 and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Miss Representation exposes how 
 mainstream media and culture contribute to the under-representation of 
 women in positions of power and influence in America.\n\nThe film draws 
 back a curtain to reveal a glaring reality we live with every day but fail 
 to see – how the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of 
 women and girls makes it difficult for women to feel powerful and achieve 
 leadership positions.\n\nIn a society where media is the most persuasive 
 force shaping cultural norms, the collective message we 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 75th among 193 
 countries when it comes to women in the national legislature. And it’s 
 not better outside of government. Women make up only 7.4% of Fortune 500 
 CEOs and 21% of directors, executive producers, writers, cinematographers, 
 and editors working on the top 250 domestic grossing films.\n\nStories from 
 teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, 
 entertainers, activists, and academics, like Katie Couric, Rosario Dawson, 
 Gloria Steinem, Margaret Cho, Condoleezza Rice, Rachel Maddow, and Nancy 
 Pelosi, build momentum as Miss Representation accumulates startling facts 
 and statistics that will leave the audience shaken, but armed with a new 
 perspective.\n_____________________________________________________________\n
