- 1995 ----- color ----- 31 min ----- vhs
- Jean Kilbourne (Killing Us Softly, Still Killing Us Softly) examines how advertising has "warped" the way women think about their own bodies.

Among the topics discussed: impossible beauty, the waif look, constructed bodies, food and sex, food and control, the weight loss industry, freeing imaginations.
