En procédant à l’invalidation de l’arrêt Roe v. Wade, qui légalisait l’avortement aux États-Unis depuis 1973, la Cour suprême a fait un saut en arrière. Ce recul est symptomatique d’une polarisation déroutante. Dérangée par cette situation, la réalisatrice et féministe Léa Clermont-Dion s’interroge : comment ce précédent juridique aura de l’impact chez nous, au Canada ? Elle offre une exploration de la montée des groupes antiavortement au Québec, et partout au pays, mais présente aussi une plongée rare dans la riposte féministe et pro-choix qui s’organise. Après son film coup de poing Je vous salue salope : la misogynie au temps du numérique (2022), la cinéaste poursuit sa quête de justice et de vérité.

"A unique feature-length documentary that combines startling archival footage that puts the audience on the ground with the activists and the remarkably insightful interviews from the ACT UP Oral History Project to explore ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) from a grassroots perspective - how a small group of men and women of all races and classes, came together to change the world and save each other's lives."

Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, MISS REPRESENTATION uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges 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. In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader. While women have made great strides in leadership over the past few decades, the United States is still 90th in the world for women in national legislatures, women hold only 3% of clout positions in mainstream media, and 65% of women and girls have disordered eating behaviors.
