The Representation Project

Film: The Representation Projects first film, Miss Representation, exposes the ways in which mainstream media representations of girls and women contribute to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence. The second film, The Mask You Live In, explores how Americas narrow definition of masculinity is harming our boys, men, and society at large. The third film, The Great American Lie, examines how Americas upside-down value system--built on the extreme masculine ideals of dominance, control, and aggression--has glorified money, power, and rugged individualism, institutionalizing inequality, and undermining the ability of most Americans to achieve the American dream. The fourth film, Fair Play, looks at how the gender gap in domestic and care work in the home places an undue burden on women and harms children, families, and society. Fair Play comes with a comprehensive curriculum for high school and college students that equips them to effectively address sexism in the home. The organization is currently in production of Miss Representation: The Revolution a powerful follow-up to Miss Representation, and will be released in 2025. Miss Representation: The Revolution exposes tech-facilitated gender-based violence and addresses the growing backlash against womens progress, mental health, and agency. In addition to the distribution of the films, The Representation Project offers age-appropriate curricula that provide youth with the opportunity to explore and apply the concepts presented in the films. Tailored curricula are designed to engage youth at different stages of development through hands-on activities and guided discussions.
