How Women are Portrayed in the Media

The introduction to this trailer hits on two very important issues. It addresses both the dangers of media and how women are portrayed in the media.

Because media is the number one source of information, people need to be more aware of how they know what they know. This applies to "historically" accurate movies, the news, polictivs, and all the other information that people learn from the media and internet.

The other issue this trailer addresses is the way that women are portrayed in the media. The way both of the main characters in "The Accused" was no accident. Everything they wore or said was constructed careully.
