About the Film
Ninety percent of women and young girls say they do not feel represented in the fashion industry or in media, and that the imagery they consume on a daily basis makes them feel “disgusting” and “less than.”
The exciting new documentary Straight/Curve: Redefining Body Image examines the industries and obstacles responsible for this body image crisis and showcases the dynamic leaders fighting for more diversity of size, race and age.
At a time when our brain processes images 60,000 times faster than words, Straight/Curve: Redefining Body Image sets out to change the imagery we are seeing and to bolster a movement that is redefining society’s unrealistic and dangerous standards of beauty to impact society at large.
This film is not rated. While the documentary is "girl friendly," it does address some mature and sensitive topics, including body image and mental health. It also includes a single use of profanity. For this reason, we recommend the film for Girl Scout Juniors and older. Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies are welcome to watch, but should do so with a parent or guardian present.
