Unattainable Standard of Beauty

An highly acclaimed documentary film entitled "America the Beautiful" is coming to Chicago for one night, Tuesday, December 9 at the Music Box Theater.

"America's obsession with beauty is the subject of filmmaker Darryl Roberts wide-ranging investigative documentary. Using archival footage and interviews with image-makers and beauty battle victims, Roberts reveals how how media, marketers and retailers manipulate women into thinking they must be avid beauty product and service consumers in order to measure up to unattainable standards set by magazine editorials and advertising. The film strongly advocates for women--and the men in their lives--to accept and love themselves as they are." (Jennifer Merin)

There's a good review of the movie on this Gurze blog. Anyone want to carpool?
