The film, sponsored by Gender Jusitce (genderjustice.us) takes a critical look at the portrayal of women and girls in the media.
Media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms – and the collective message it still sends is that a woman’s value and power lie solely in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, not in her capacity as a leader. At the same time, the media sends limiting messages about the nature of men, boys, and masculinity.
What’s the effect on our society? Is it a coincidence that gender stereotypes and derogatory portrayals of women in the media seem to be increasing, not decreasing?
Come for the film, stay for the discussion afterwards.
Tickets: $10/advance, $15/door.
