Jennifer Lynn Siebel Newsom (born June 19, 1974) is an American documentary filmmaker and actress. She is the director, writer and producer of the film Miss Representation, which premiered in the documentary competition at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. The film examines how the media have contributed to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power. Her second film, which she wrote produced and directed, was The Mask You Live In, which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Festival. It is about the struggle men and boys have while negotiating American society’s narrow definition of masculinity.
Newsom was born in San Francisco, to Kenneth F. Siebel, Jr., an investment manager (second cousin to software entrepreneur Thomas Siebel), and his wife, Judy (Fritzer) Siebel, co-founder of the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito. Newsom grew up in the Marin County community of Ross, California. Newsom is the oldest of four sisters. Newsom attended Ross Grammar School and The Branson School. During high school, she played varsity basketball, soccer, and tennis. She later graduated with honors from Stanford University, where she obtained a Bachelor's degree in 1996 and Master of Business Administration in 2001. Her studies focused on conservation policy and Third World development. At Stanford, she was recruited to play on the women's soccer team. While pursuing her MBA, Newsom also studied at the American Conservatory Theater, where she completed a certificate program. After completing her education, Newsom traveled to Africa, Latin America, and Europe on assignments with Conservation International, a global environmental coalition. Newsom worked in rain forest communities with a focus on helping indigenous populations and creating business enterprise opportunities for women.
Miss Representation is a 2011 American documentary film written, directed, and produced by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. It explores how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in influential positions by circulating limited and often disparaging portrayals of women. The film premiered in the documentary competition at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
The film interweaves stories from teenage girls with provocative interviews, to give an inside look at the media and its message. The film’s motto, “You can't be what you can't see,” underscores an implicit message that young women need and want positive role models, and that the media has thus far neglected its unique opportunity to provide them. The film includes a social action campaign to address change in policy, education and call for socially responsible business.
The film previewed on October 18, 2010, at an awards luncheon hosted by the San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women. The film premiered on January 22, 2011 at the Sundance Film Festival, and was followed by appearing at the Athena Film Festival at Barnard College in NYC in February.

Stanford University, officially Leland Stanford Junior University, is a private research university in Stanford, California, and one of the world's most prestigious institutions.
Stanford was founded in 1885 by Leland Stanford, former Governor of and U.S. Senator from California and leading railroad tycoon, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., who had died of typhoid fever at age 15 the previous year. Stanford admitted its first students on October 1, 1891 as a coeducational and non-denominational institution. Tuition was free until 1920. The university struggled financially after Leland Stanford's 1893 death and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following World War II, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurialism to build self-sufficient local industry in what would later be known as Silicon Valley. By 1970, Stanford was home to a linear accelerator, and was one of the original four ARPANET nodes (precursor to the Internet).
Gavin Christopher Newsom (born October 10, 1967) is an American politician. He is the 49th and current Lieutenant Governor of California, after being elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. In 2003, he was elected the 42nd Mayor of San Francisco, the city's youngest in a hundred years. Newsom was re-elected in 2007 with 72 percent of the vote.
Newsom graduated from Redwood High School and Santa Clara University. He has co-founded 18 businesses, in which at least 10 family friend Gordon Getty has been an investor. San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown appointed Newsom to serve on the city's Parking and Traffic Commission in 1996, and then as a member of the Board of Supervisors the following year. Newsom drew voter attention with his Care Not Cash program, designed to move homeless people into city-assisted care. In February 2015, Newsom announced he was opening a committee to run for Governor of California in 2018.
Newsom was born in San Francisco, California, to Tessa Thomas (Menzies) and William Alfred Newsom III, a retired state appeals court justice and attorney for Getty Oil. He is a fourth-generation San Franciscan. His father is of Irish descent, while one of his maternal great-grandfathers, Scotsman Thomas Addis, was a pioneer scientist in the field of nephrology and a professor of medicine at Stanford University. Newsom is the second cousin, twice removed, of musician Joanna Newsom.

How is the misrepresentation of women in media connected to the underrepresentation of women in power? Jennifer Siebel Newsom answers this question in her film Miss Representation. Jennifer Siebel Newsom received her BA and MBA from Stanford University and was already an accomplished woman by the time she went knocking on Hollywood's door at the age of 28. After being told by an agent to lie about both her age and her level of education, she was appalled. This experience was the driving force behind her documentary Miss Representation, a film exploring the underrepresentation of women in positions of power through challenging the media's limited portrayal of girls and women.

La regista Jennifer Siebel Newsom mette insieme alcune delle donne americane più influenti della politica, del giornalismo e dello spettacolo per esaminare come il loro ruolo e il loro lavoro venga considerato dai media. La loro sotto-rappresentazione, quando non vera e propria denigrazione, arreca un grave torto ad un genere che invece è all'avanguardia sia nel campo culturale che produttivo. Ancora oggi vengono proposti i soliti stereotipi secondo i quali i valori messi in campo dal genere femminile sarebbero solo quelli della bellezza, della giovinezza e della sessualità, rinnegando le loro capacità creative nei campi della cultura, dell'arte, della gestione aziendale ed amministrativa, ecc. I messaggi errati e limitati che i media propongono, soprattutto nei riguardi delle donne in pos...

Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Representation
Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation (TV-14 DL) uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman's value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capac...
