- Description
- 1 film reel (30 min.) : sd. col.; 16 mm.
- Summary
- Based on a multimedia presentation created by Jean Kilbourne, this film explores the media's role via advertising in stereotypic sex role socialization. Using ads from magazines, newspapers, album covers, and storefront windows, Kilbourne analyzes the $50 billion industry that preys on the fears and insecurities of the consumer. Issues raised include: the objectification of women, exploitation of sexuality, the victimization of children, the tyranny of "ideal beauty," and the glorification of violence against women.
