Miss Representation

A few months ago I posted the trailer for Miss Representation -- here it is again (at the bottom of this post) with multiple opportunities to see the whole thing:


MISS REPRESENTATION 


Premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Miss Representationis written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom and 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. The film had its broadcast premiere on OWN Oprah Winfrey Network in October 2011.
For more information about the film and the national campaign to influence media which has arisen out if it, visit www.missrepresentation.org.
