Mordant Belle

From the author of The Macho Paradox comes Tough Guise, a great documentary which I watched during one of my Media Studies classes.

Here’s an excellent preview; more embedded below the fold.

[Trigger Warning: Many of the images in this preview are graphic and violent. Also: Don’t go to YouTube and read the comments section. Just don’t.]

If you can get your hands on this movie, DO IT. You can look at the product page for the company that distributes it, the Media Education Foundation, but their prices are for universities and non-profits, so they include “viewing fees” for mass audiences, which is why they’re $150-275. From what I understand you can order a personal copy for in-home use, but you have to call them on the phone to order and for pricing. I have ordered several documentaries from them during clearances for individual use, which were usually $10-25 per movie.

If you can’t do that, check out your local library or a the nearest university open to the public. My college has this movie “on file” on their closed circuit system so I can watch it on campus in the library’s Media Center; I suspect many other universities have something similar.
