Miss Representation
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film, Miss Representation, 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.
Stories 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.
