Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s look at how women and girls are objectified in mass media launched at Sundance this year and has swept through a number of other festivals in the intervening months, including San Francisco, Atlanta, Silverdocs, and Sonoma, where it won the audience award. The film has been picked up by OWN for Oprah’s Documentary Club.
