synopsis
An updated version of the documentary, Dreamworlds: Desire/Sex/Power in Rock Video, which studies the impact of music video on America's youth, Dreamworlds II: Desire, Sex and Power in Music Video further investigates the way pop cultural images influence and help determine young people's concepts of self and sexuality. Via critical commentary, the program deconstructs the sexist representations of women so ubiquitous in music video, images that explain too narrowly what it means to be a woman in today's society, and what it means to be a man gazing on her.
