Miss Representation Film Screening

Miss Representation is the acclaimed documentary that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and first aired on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). =

Miss Representation 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. The film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America.

This is a must-see film for parents, teenage girls, youth group leaders and educators. Following the film there will be a panel discussion.
