Tell a Friend
Anything You Want To Be was one of the earliest and most popular films of the early Women's Movement. This classic film about a teenager’s humorous collision with sex-role stereotypes was one of the first to explore the external pressures and the more subtle, internal pressures a girl faces in finding her identity. In a series of comical vignettes, a bright high school girl finds that, despite her parents' assurance that she can be "anything she wants to be," she is repeatedly foiled by social expectations and media stereotypes. Anything You Want To Be is one of New Day’s founding films.
