- Description
- Interview with director Darryl Roberts. Roberts made the documentary 'America the Beautiful'. The ground Roberts covers in the film, the fashion industry's use of ever-younger models, the booming business in cosmetic procedures, the spiraling culture of celebrity worship, people who procure plastic surgery for their pets, still manages to present a truly disturbing picture of the lenghts people go to fit an increasingly skewed version of mainstream beauty.
