Miss Representation

"Miss Representation" exposes how American youth are being sold the concept that women and girls’ value lies in their youth, beauty and sexuality, while challenging the media's limited portrayal of what it means to be a powerful woman by exploring the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film interweaves stories from teenage girls with interviews to give an inside look at the media and its message that underscores young women need and want positive role models, while also sparking a social action campaign to address change in policy, education and call for socially responsible business.
