Badass Beauty QueenIn today's hyper-sexualized culture, this new one-hour documentary provides a stellar example of a young woman putting inner strength and beauty first. Join us for the Georgia Premiere of Badass Beauty Queen! The film follows Miss World Canada, Anastasia Lin, and her unwavering determination to stick to her conscience in the face of intimidation from an oppressive regime.
Anastasia will answer your questions after the movie!
Anastasia’s commitment to publicizing human rights abuses landed her coverage in The New York Times, speaking engagements at the National Press Club, United Nations, and a meeting with the Dalai Lama — in addition to the support of thousands of young women (21,000 followers on Facebook) who were inspired by her tenacity.
The new hour-long documentary is produced by Full Stride Films, a production company based in Toronto, that creates empowering and thought-provoking films.
Snacks and light refreshments will be provided.
