*post screening discussion*
October 19, 2011 at St Anthony Main Cinema about the film Miss Representation:http://missrepresentation.org/the-film/
with Gender Justice founders Lisa Stratton and Jill Gaulding

Miss Representation is a film that challenges the mainstream media’s biased portrayals of women and girls. How do these portrayals affect women and girls? How do they affect men and boys? And what’s the connection between limited or disparaging media portrayals, cognitive bias, and discrimination in the real world?

Screening sponsored by Gender Justice:http://www.genderjustice.us
And co-sponsored by The White House Project, New Moon Girl media, TVbyGIRLS OutFront Minnesota, OWL of Minnesota, Emily Program, The Center on Women and Public Policy and Laura Jeffrey Academy.
