Filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom is back at Tribeca with “Miss Representation: Rise Up,” a follow-up to her 2011 doc that examined how media distorts the image of women and keeps them out of power.

The new film, running 87 minutes, tackles how technology is making everything worse. It looks at cultural backlash against women’s mental health, agency, and power, with digital platforms accelerating sexism and misogyny in ways that couldn’t have been predicted when the first film dropped.

Newsom, California’s First Partner, brings a heavy lineup of voices. Hillary Rodham Clinton, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, and tech critic Safiya Noble all feature, alongside activists Reshma Saujani and Jameela Jamil.

The original “Miss Representation” led Newsom to create The Representation Project, which sparked campaigns like #NotBuyingIt and helped amplify #MeToo and #TimesUp. Her films have reached tens of millions globally. She’s also behind “The Mask You Live In” and executive produced Oscar-nominated “The Invisible War.”

This matters because while women have made gains since 2011, the digital landscape has created new battlegrounds. Understanding how tech amplifies old biases is crucial for anyone trying to level the playing field in media and beyond.
