America the Beautiful

On January 10 we are going to be watching the documentary "America the Beautiful." This film depicts America's obscene obsession with beauty and appearance. The director Darryl Roberts show clips from the past and interviews with everyday people. There is a great importance in getting answers from real people; it yields a response that causes the views to really think about the issues.

Roger Ebert gives his opinions on the film in this insightful review. He gives a bit of the background story to what makes this film what it is. This is a serious review that breaks down the pieces that make up the film
