Write a short summary of what happens in the film
With the self-esteem crisis at boiling point, Dove had a responsibility to act, we launched the modern-day sequel to Evolution. ‘Reverse Selfie’ follows the true story of our real girl, Grace. In the film, Grace appears to be a 19-year-old woman trying to achieve the ‘perfect’ selfie. Her skin air brushed, her nose thin, her lips plumped, her eyes wide and her hair immaculate. We then reverse backwards, journeying to see all the retouching tools Grace used to create this ‘ideal’ selfie. Through close and macro shots we see her lip gloss reverse from her lips and the drip of her nail varnish return to the bottle. The distortion is troubling. When all filters are removed, to our surprise, we are left with the real 12-year-old Grace. The film gives us a small glimpse into the beauty pressures millions of girls around the world face every day.
