Reviews and Comments
"Bravo! This is the best video I have seen in a long time; very subtle and deeply moving."
-Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls
"Like Killing Us Softly 3 or Reviving Ophelia, What a Girl Wants presents, in teen girls' voices, another glimpse of how the media diminishes the value of young women. Here is the opportunity for educators to begin a dialogue with younger students on the impact of self-serving media messages."
-Jane Baer-Leighton, chair, English Dept. 7-12 Amherst Regional High School

Summary:
During the spring of 2000, eleven girls aged 8 to 16 from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds and two classrooms of middle and high school students were interviewed about their views on media culture and its impact on their lives.
Their insightful and provocative responses provide the central theme of the film, a half-hour examination of how the media presents girls. Juxtaposing footage culled from a typical week of TV broadcasting with original interviews, What a Girl Wants will provoke debate and, ideally, act as a catlyst for change in media content.
