Miss Representation

Jennifer Siebel Newsom's documentary, Miss Representation is "an inside look" at the messages the media sends to and about women:

As one of the most persuasive and pervasive forces in our culture, media is educating yet another generation that a woman’s primary value lay in her youth, beauty and sexuality—not in her capacity as a leader, making it difficult for women to obtain leadership positions and for the average girl to feel confident herself. Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, academics, and activists like Condoleezza Rice, Lisa Ling, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Rosario Dawson, Jackson Katz, Jean Kilbourne, and Gloria Steinem build momentum as Miss Representation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave audiences shaken and armed with a new perspective.

A list of screenings can be found here. (It should be showing on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network in the fall.) This looks incredibly promising, but as Dodai from Jezebel states, Miss Representation "may be preaching to the choir for those of us already frustrated with sexist advertising and misogynistic media."
