Killing Us Softly III:
|
Jean Kilbourne's pioneering work helped
develop and popularize the study of gender representation in advertising.
In this important new video, Kilbourne takes viewers on a tour to see how
the image of women in advertising has changed over the last 20 years.
Questions addressed in the video...Does the beauty ideal still tyrannize
women? Does advertising still objectify women's bodies? Are the twin
themes of liberation and weight control still linked? Is sexuality still
presented as women's main concern? Are young girls still sexualized and
grown women infantilized? Are images of male violence against women still
used to sell products? Can you guess the answers? DVD has special features including new interview with Jean Kilbourne. DVD includes chapter insert. 59 Minutes (34 Minutes for movie and 25 Minutes for interview). |

Courtney Peldon stars as Katie Bryant, an aspiring young gymnast who is willing to do whatever it takes to make it to the top of her sport - - including suffering verbal abuse from her demanding coach, competing while injured, and intense dieting.

| Slim Hopes |
Jean Kilbourne's award-winning video offers an
in-depth analysis of how female bodies are depicted in advertising images
and the devastating effects of those images on women's health.
Addressing the relationship between these images and the obsession of girls
and women with dieting and thinness, "Slim Hopes" offers a new way to think
about life-threatening eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, and a
well-documented critical perspective on the social impact of advertising. "Slim Hopes" is a lively and engaging program suitable for a wide range of audiences at high schools, colleges and universities. Using over 150 ads, it informs as it entertains, allowing viewers to build an analytic framework for considering the impact of advertising on women's health.

| What A Girl Wants |
During the Spring of 2000, eleven girls aged 8 to 16
from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and two classrooms of middle
and high school students were interviewed about their views on media culture
and its impact on their lives. Their insightful and provocative responses provide the central theme of the film, a half-hour examination of how the media represents girls. Juxtaposing footage culled from a typical week of television broadcasting with original interviews, "What A Girl Wants" will provoke debate and, ideally, act as a catalyst for change in media content. DVD is the UNEDITED version. Some strong and course language. DVD includes chapter insert. 33 Minutes. |
