While Jane Fonda, Lisa Ling and Margaret Cho may not immediately seem to have much in common, I’m excited to see that they’ve all participated in Miss Representation, an upcoming documentary that will examine how women are portrayed by network television and major media. Actress and SF First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom directed the film, whose trailer was shown at an International Museum of Women event this week to introduce “Reality Bites Back,” Jennifer Pozner’s book about guilty pleasure television and the need to become more critical consumers. You can see the feature-length project in early 2011 (from a public awareness perspective, it can’t come soon enough).
