I found this very interesting and so completely true. I have posted this site in my blog and referred others to this site. I wish it was a little longer though ;p Thanks

This is such an important issue for youth to think about and discuss (so great job taking it on for your video!). You got some great interviews and some great b-roll. The ending seemed a bit sudden - perhaps there is a way to bring it all together in the end?

That model's stomach is really skinny! The part about GI Joe was really interesting. This movie is really good.

The video is very sensible. It gives much information about you not needing to look like the person on a magazine or you don't have to be like the person on sweet sixteen or something. Everyone is different in their own way, which means every one is cool in their own way. This video is very inspiring and should be a commercial on TV, so people can realize that.

this movie was dope. i like the soundtrack. you have to look really hard to find different points of view of regular people on mainstream media.

I loved this movie. I thought that everything said was just so true and real.
