Girl model strips away the facade of the modeling industry by following two people whose lives intersect because of it. Ashley is a deeply conflicted American model scout, and 13-year-old Nadya, plucked from a remote Siberian village and promised a lucrative career in Japan, in her latest discovery. As they young girl searches for glamour and escape poverty, she confronts the harsh realities of a culture that worships youth - and an industry that makes perpetual childhood a globally traded commodity.
Panel discussion will follow after the film.
