106/365 → Killing Us Softly 3: Advertising’s Image of Women (1999)

Killing Us Softly: Advertising’s Image of Women, the award-winning documentary by Jean Kilbourne, discusses the psychological effects of the portrayal of women in advertising media. With humor and intelligence, Kilbourne presents a slideshow of negative images of women, including women as stereotypical sex kittens, with their bodies often unnaturally thin, and looks camera-perfect. Kilbourne asserts that these images damage women by shaping mainstream attitudes and actions. She arms viewers with tools for communication and suggestions for opening an empowering dialogue.
