Film Overview
“A travelogue through the landscape of American sexism,” RATE IT X is a penetrating documentary which explores the pervasive influences of sexist attitudes throughout the U.S. Thirty interviews in ten American cities have been compiled to show how middle-America is seemingly entrenched in destructive and well-outdated views. Consider the baker who makes headless female torso cakes, or the advertising manager who puts a well-endowed blonde into a computer ad, or the banker who, in describing Jeanie banking machines, explains, “Jeanie is here to serve you and she is open 24 hours a day.”
