Academy
Award winner Geena Davis has lived much of her life in the eyes of the
media. Today, she speaks passionately about the faulty image portrayed
by that media. Quite often, the message women receive from television,
film and print is that they are worthless; and the characters they see
on-screen are highly stereotyped. Psychologically, women are constantly
comparing themselves to the media's incomplete image of who they should
be. Ms Davis will explore why society still lacks good role models for
women. By reflecting on her own life experiences, Geena will take you on
a remarkable journey that in the end, will challenge society's preconceived
ideas on what is the ideal woman. Don't miss this rare appearance by one
of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses. Geena will change the way
that you think about yourself. |
