In almost 40,000 media messages a year, youthful Americas are being told that, unless you look like supermodels and rock stars, you’re not good enough for anyone to love. This is a message that too many people are buying.
Filmmaker Darryl Roberts goes on a two year journey to examine America’s new obsession; physical perfection. In America the Beautiful, we learn secrets, confessions, and strikingly harsh realities as Roberts unearths the origins and deadly risks of our nation’s quest for physical perfection.

Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Social historian and author of The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls and Fasting Girls: The History of Anorexia Nervosa
America's adolescent girls are in crisis. Growing up in a female body is more difficult today than ever before. Girls' bodies have changed and so has American society. Using intimate materials drawn from the unpublished diaries of American girls, Joan Jacob Brumberg’s presentation of The Body Project provides a lively and engaging story of how growing up as a girl has changed over the past one hundred years, and why the pressures on girls and young women are now so intense.
