Over the Hill. Media Impact on Women's Self-Image
Description
In this program Sunny Bergman, a 33-year-old filmmaker, tries and largely fails to rally support for the idea that aging naturally is preferable to Botox and breast implants. Speaking with psychologists, fashion editors, surgeons, and the young women who believe that retouched magazine images are something to emulate, Bergman argues that the media has raised the bar for beauty, working against the efforts of 1970s feminists who encouraged women to accept themselves as they are. The latter portion of the video candidly explores the impact of the porn industry on the rising number of labiaplasties.
