We need to talk about Barbie

Synopsis

Born in the era of Barbie dolls. Barbie houses, cars, clothes, accessories and Barbie’s boyfriend Ken was in almost every girl’s room. Decades after, specifically in November 2014, Barbie, was the cover in Sports Illustrated under the tagline “Unapologetic”, wearing nothing more but her bathing suit. Playing with Barbies is an old habit and the two directors explore their connection to the doll as adults.
