Join Warren Etheredge of The Warren Report as he chats wih Darryl Roberts, director of America the Beautiful. A documentary

In AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL we see how these increasingly unattainable images contribute greatly to the rise in low self-esteem, body dismorphia, and eating disorders for young women and girls who also happen to be the beauty industry's largest consumers. Who actually benefits from this high-priced journey towards this ideal? Is corporate America\u2019s bottom line so important that it justifies a nation\u2019s psychosis? What are the true costs of our obsession with youth, beauty, and a slender physique?

At the heart of AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL is the story of Gerren Taylor, a teenager who went from being an innocent 12 year old girl to being one of America\u2019s next top supermodels. As she and her mother head down the windy road to stardom, viewers watch the dichotomy between Gerren's adolescent struggles and her adult \u201crights of passage\u201d on the catwalks of Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and other top designers. Her tumultuous quest acts as a mirror to the American psyche, and it becomes apparent how the same beauty that could jump-start her career could ultimately destroy her young life.
