'I've seen little kids wearing mini-skirts, and sometimes... it's disturbing'   Models, Magazines, Media and Me by Gaby Mann, Clara Markiewicz, Chrissy Jane Childs and Sky Caesar, UK, takes a look at the image presented to and placed upon young girls in the United Kingdom by the media. Through a series of interviews with their own group, and members of the public, this documentary examines just how inappropriate the media that young people are accessing nowadays really is. Produced by the British Film Institute in 2011 as part of a Doc Next bursary scheme to create new documentaries with a group of home educated young people. This work is part of Doc Next Media Collection www.docnextnetwork.org Doc Next Network collects the media made by young Europeans, and captures their views to redefine and re-imagine documentary within the shifting borders of Europe.
