Tracking the country's oldest beauty contest-from its inception in 1921 as a local seaside pageant to its heyday as one of the country's most popular events-MISS AMERICA paints a vivid picture of an institution that has come to reveal much about a changing nation. The pageant is about commercialism and sexual politics, about big business and small towns. But beyond the symbolism lies a human story-at once moving, inspiring, infuriating, funny, and poignant. Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival** and at the **SXSW Film Festival.** "*Superb...effortlessly mines perspective, poignancy and cultural significance for an exercise that has embodied the essence of kitsch and tacky...*" - ***The Hollywood Reporter***
