Screening of the award winning documentary Miss Representation. TICKETS are $10 and available through the UofC Campus Ticket Centre or online at ucalgary.ca/tickets. The evening is hosted by SupportWorks. Premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Miss Representation is written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom and exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. www.missrepresentation.org www.supportworks.ca.
