Sex, Lies and Alcohol

On Tuesday, October 20th, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Women's Advocacy Council at UW Oshkosh will be showing the award-winning film "Spin the Bottle: Sex, Lies and Alcohol".

According to the announcement: "This film offers an indispensable critique of the role that contemporary popular culture plays in glamorizing excessive drinking and high-risk behaviors. Award-winning media critics Jackson Katz and Jean Kilbourne contrast these distorted representations with the often disturbing and dangerous ways that alcohol consumption affects the lives of real young men and women. Illustrating their analysis with numerous examples, Katz and Kilbourne decode the power and influence these seductive media images have in shaping gender identity, which is linked to the use of alcohol."

The event will take place at the UW Oshkosh Reeve Union Ballroom at 6:30PM, followed by a talk-back facilitated by Jackson Katz.
