“Miss Representation” Film Screening Set for Jan. 23 at Randolph Community College

Randolph Community College’s Cultural Arts Series continues this month with a screening of the documentary, “Miss Representation,” on Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 2 p.m. in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center on the Asheboro Campus. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. To reserve your seat, go to www.randolph.edu and click on the Cultural Arts Quick Link.          

This documentary, written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, challenges the media’s portrayals of women and girls, portrayals that make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions. After the screening, RCC Humanities Instructor Kimberly Maddox will lead a discussion on the film that addresses how mainstream media contribute to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America.          

This project receives support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.         

RCC’s Asheboro Campus is located at 629 Industrial Park Avenue. Take the McDowell Road exit off of U.S. 220 Bypass/I73-74 and follow the signs.
