The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is iconic on every level. And whether
you like the magazine or not, this fun film is for everyone. If you are mostly
interested in the models in skimpy bathing suits, you won’t be disappointed.
Christie Brinkley is in this film. But neither will you be disappointed if you
are interested in the roles of women in the fashion world. In her 32-year-old
career, Jule Campbell transformed a struggling magazine into a media
empire. This documentary chronicles her reign, where she championed
intelligence and empowered supermodels like Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs.
And she did it while empowering the women she worked with. Weaving
together her journey with feminism's evolution, the film explores the
changing gaze on beauty, from objectification to body positivity. The film
features interviews and intimate moments with nonagenarian Campbell, a
lot of fun surprises …. and of course bathing suits.
