Monday, February 27 7:30-9	Healthy Monday: Miss Representation Like drawing back a curtain to let in a bright stream of light, Miss Representation is a film that uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. This movie exposes the media’s misrepresentation of women and girls, which overwhelming show that a woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality and not in our intellectual abilities. Incorporating stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, this film will leave you shaken and armed with a new perspective. Tweet with others during the movie! Free popcorn! See the trailer at www.missrepresentation.org	Main Hall 168
