"Miss Representation" is a documentary about women in the media today. Emily first suggested it and I finally bought it and last night we had an Okemos Screening of it with 8 women, mostly 30-somethings but two of us were over 50. We all found it enlightening and the discussion following was lively and important. Gabrielle also saw it and was moved. For anyone raising a daughter, or working with young women, or interested in being a full participant in this culture of ours--I would highly recommend viewing it. Since I now own it, I'd be happy to be your lending library. Gabrielle might have a copy too. Or I could bring it to camp for 88 minutes of viewing? The people on the program span a large range in age, accomplishment, interest and focus.
This is not just for women, however. I would be very interested in hearing the guy perspective after viewing.
Would it be a good idea for me to view it with Reilly, or is it not appropriate for precocious 9 year olds?
ReplyDeleteNo way. It shows all the stuff you don't want her to see! Adult-Rated, for sure.
