Summary
During the spring of 2000, eleven girls aged 8 to 16 from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and two classrooms of middle and high school students were interviewed about their views on media culture and its impact on their lives. Their responses provide the central theme of the film, a half-hour examination of how the media presents girls which juxtaposes footage culled from a typical week of TV broadcasting with original interviews.
