Film Screening: Miss Representation at New Century Trust

Enjoy a special screening of Miss Representation, an award-winning film that exposes how mainstream media and culture contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists, and academics, like Katie Couric, Rosario Dawson, Gloria Steinem, Margaret Cho, Condoleezza Rice, Rachel Maddow, and Nancy Pelosi, build momentum as Miss Representation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience shaken, but armed with a new perspective. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.  Presented in partnership with The Walnut Club; food sponsored by Gran Caffe L’Aquila.
