Huckleberry Youth Programs is presenting a film night benefit at the Rafael theatre on September 20, 2011.
Celia and I will be there and hope you will join us!
The film is: Miss Representation
Advance tickets: $15
Info about the film (description from the Rafael Film Center site):
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Miss Representation premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. The film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. It aims to challenge the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. Some of America's most influential women are featured in the film including Condoleezza Rice, Rachel Maddow, Katie Couric, Jane Fonda, Nancy Pelosi, and Dianne Feinstein. In October, the film will have its broadcast premiere on OWN Oprah Winfrey Network. www.missrepresentation.org
Huckleberry Youth Programs' mission is to educate, inspire, and support underserved youth to develop healthy life choices, to maximize their potential, and to realize their dreams. For over 40 years, we have accomplished this by providing San Francisco and Marin youth and their families with a network of services and opportunities offered by caring peers and adults. Over 60% of Huckleberry's clients are young women and our programs emphasize reproductive self-determination and health care, higher education, positive body image, economic independence, leadership, and social justice for young women and girls. www.huckleberryyouth.org
