BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF THE NORTH BAY PRESENTS MISS REPRESENTATION
December 12, 2014 1:43PM
Documentary film Miss Representation will be screened on January 17, 2015, 6:00-8:30PM at Marin Country Mart, 2257 Larkspur Landing Cir., Larkspur, CA 94939. Popcorn and refreshments provided. Following the screening, there will be a panel and discussion.
Premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Miss Representation is written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom and 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.
