Screening Miss Representation

There are only a few spots left for the second showing of Miss Representation. Please see details below to RSVP. "Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, (the documentary) Miss Representation...uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film 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." *

Join COSW for a screening of the award-winning documentary “Miss Representation” followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session. Light refreshments will be provided.
