Description:
The country's oldest beauty contest, 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, and big business and small towns. But beyond the symbolism lies a human story--at once moving, inspiring, infuriating, and poignant, complete with interviews with former contestants and fabulous behind-the-scenes footage.
