In recognition of Women’s History Month, our next DEI Film Festival movie is Miss Representation, a powerful documentary on how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in influential positions by circulating limited and often disparaging portrayals of women. Popcorn and beverages (with and without alcohol) will be available during the screening of the film. We'll have a group discussion over dinner after the movie ends. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the themes of representation, leadership, and gender equity and to consider how each of us can help create a more inclusive media landscape.
