A 10-year-old girl looks at the world around her and what does she see?
* Models airbrushed to waif thinness and flawless perfection on billboards and in magazines.
*t Advertisements using sexy women to sell everything from alcohol to new cars.
* Movies that focus on male protagonists -- or stories about women searching for "Mr. Right."
* Female political candidates scrutinized for the length of their skirts more than the substance of their ideas.
Is that the world we want this young girl to see -- or could there be another view? That's the question posed in "Miss Representation," a film examining the media's portrayal of women.
