I, Doll : The Unauthorized Biography of America’s 11 1/2″Sweetheart
A film by Tula Asselanis
57 minutes

There are more Barbie Dolls* in the U.S. than human beings. Barbie was fashioned after a German prostitute doll named “Lilli.” These are just two of the many Barbie facts revealed in this hilarious documentary on the Barbie phenomenon. Interviews with adoring fans as well as culturally diverse critics of Barbie’s unrealistic body image for women, express feelings, both pro and con, about the 6-ounces of plastic that became a national icon.
