March 1, 2010 - What’s Your Point, Honey? – a
documentary film about how young women view themselves in today’s political
world – will make its broadcast debut on NYC life (Channel 25) on Monday, March
15 at 8pm in celebration of Women’s History Month. NYC life is a part of the
official television network of the City of New York.
Inspired by the
conversations taking place during the 2008 presidential election about not if,
but when a woman would be elected president, New York filmmakers Amy Sewell
(Mad Hot Ballroom) and Susan Toffler (The Cost of Living)
decided to examine the current social and political status of the women’s
movement by looking to a new generation of young women.
“NYC life is
proud to present the broadcast debut of this enlightening documentary,” said
Katherine Oliver, President, NYC Media. “We hope the film with start a dialogue
about female empowerment among our viewers.”
What’s Your Point,
Honey? follows seven diverse young women, who aspire to one day lead the
country. Placed in high-powered summer internships in various professions and
industries in New York City by a Cosmo!Girl magazine "contest" called
Project 2024, the plan is that by the year 2024, these young women will grace
the presidential debate podiums.
"The power of this film is that it not
only speaks to women, but also to society as a whole, addressing the roles of
fatherhood and friendship, while striking a chord with the heart of humanity,”
said Sewell.
What’s Your Point, Honey? puts a face on the
leadership and possibilities coming down the pipeline for young women while
revealing the obstacles they still face today. Two other age groups, teens and
tweens, weave in and out of the story to add their generations' take on the
topic.
Three study guides accompany the documentary - College Study
Guide, Middle and High School Study Guide, and Viewers Guide (for the general
audience), and can be downloadable on the ‘honey stuff’ section of
