Miss Representation

Thank you, Elisa Audo, for sharing this great link!

A selection of the 2011 Sundance Film festival, Miss Representation explores how the media's misrepresenta-tion of women has led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence.  The film aired on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network in October and is scheduled to re-air on November 12, 11:00 EST (New York).
