The Politics of Dress: Double Standards in the Headscarf Debate

Not a half-baked stoner movie: US aviation authorities have signed this off as a trial

A Boy Story  

Kristen Jarvis was a high-powered lawyer with a six-figure salary in Doha, Qatar. She loved working at a law firm—until she had children. After months of experiencing sexism in the workplace, Jarvis decided to make a radical change. She moved back to the United States and, with the help of her sister, began a Kickstarter campaign to fund a company that makes dolls for boys. “I think that there's been a belief in the toy industry that dolls aren't for boys,” Jarvis says in this documentary by The Atlantic. “We live in a modern society and we have a diverse world around us, but i can't buy a boy doll for my son?”

Using a Rat Balloon to Protest Labor Abuse  

Lenny Anselmo is a union organizer with Laborers Local 79 in New York City. Every day, he lugs a 20-foot inflatable rat around the city to protest at non-union construction sites. The short film Lenny and the Rat follows Anselmo throughout the day as he and other trade union workers call for rights to living wages and benefits. “It's sending a message to developer and contractor, saying we're not just going to stand here and watch you build that building without a fight,” Anselmo says.

The documentary short was directed by Jason Hutt, a Brooklyn-based filmmaker.
