Is America Obsessed with Beauty?

When filmmaker Darryl Roberts asked 200 American women if they felt attractive, only two said yes. The effects that mainstream media has on our women AND men are clear yet controversial. Not skinny enough. Too short. Hips are too wide. Lips aren’t full enough. Breasts are too small. The list goes on.

Robert’s award winning documentary, America the Beautiful, takes a closer look at how the media shapes our perception of beauty and the unfortunate consequences of succumbing to this media fueled obsession.

America the Beautiful is now playing at the Cinema Village Theater in NYC (22E. 12th Street). More dates open up throughout the rest of August and September. Find a theater listing near you after the jump!
