Mirror, Mirror
A film by Jan Krawitz

Grades 9 and up

In "Mirror, Mirror" a diverse group of women – all of varying age, size, and ethnicity – share how they have overcome the pressures to achieve the perfect body and eventually embraced their individuality. An excellent discussion starter on topics addressing representation of women in the media, eating disorders, and women’s health, "Mirror, Mirror" empowers young people to feel confident about themselves, their abilities and their bodies.
