MINI-MISS

The hypersexualisation of little girls

Synopsis

The phenomenon of child beauty pageants is as fascinating as it is unsettling. In these competitions, little girls, sometimes as young as four, don makeup, glittering dresses, and elaborate hairstyles to compete on stage.

Straddling the line between childhood innocence and adult expectations, what are these competitions' psychological and social consequences on the young participants and their families?

This film goes behind the scenes of a controversial world and questions our relationship with image, femininity, and childhood.
