The third in a series of films on the advertising industry,
body image, and women, "Beyond Killing Us Softly"
is a 30-minute documentary that explores the question of how
adolescent girls interpret the confusing, conflicting, and
sexist messages they get from the media. Featuring feminist
activists and scholars including Carol Gilligan, Amy Richards,
Gloria Steinem, and Gail Dines, the film goes beyond calling
girls "victims," and shows them interacting with
potentially harmful messages and resisting the call to victimhood.
With interviews with girls from a range of ethnic and social
backgrounds, "Beyond Killing Us Softly" is an excellent
teaching tool, for mentoring projects with junior high or
high school students, or for a college-level women's studies
course, teaching students to read images encoded with sexist,
racist, and heterosexist messages.
