SUMMARY:Miss Representation Film Viewing and Discussion
DTSTART:20120229T003000Z

DESCRIPTION:Miss Representation exposes how mainstream media contribut
 es to the under-representation of women in positions of power and infl
 uence in America. It challenges the media’s limited and often dispar
 aging portrayals of women and girls\, which make it difficult for wome
 n to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel po
 werful herself. In a society where media is the most persuasive force 
 shaping cultural norms\, the collective message that our young women a
 nd 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 lea
 der. Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with\npolit
 icians\, journalists\, entertainers\, activists and academics\, like C
 ondoleezza Rice\, Nancy Pelosi\, Katie Couric\, Rachel Maddow\, Margar
 et Cho\, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem\, build momentum as Miss Re
 presentation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leav
 e the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective. The documentar
 y\, written and directed by Jennifer Siebel\, premiered at the 2011 Su
 ndance Film Festival. Recommended for mature audiences.
