Screening: America The Beautiful
This will be the DC premiere of the film, and the screening will be followed by a Q & A with the filmmaker Darryl Roberts.
America the Beautiful is a socially probing documentary which explores the question, "Does America have an unhealthy obsession with beauty?" Filmmaker Darryl Roberts journeys into the psyche of celebrities like Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson, athletes like Reggie Theus, industry professionals such as Jill Ishkanian from "US Weekly," Ted Casablanca from the "E! Channel" and the American citizenry to determine the roots of this superficial obsession. By juxtaposing his personal obsessions with beauty with those of people like Martin Short, Michael Beach, Mena Suvari, Anthony Kiedis, Tischa Campbell and Aisha Tyler, Roberts illustrates that, to varying degress, we all fall victim to this superficial social phenomenon.
