故事大綱

六、七十年代的「世界小姐選舉」是國際觸目的盛事，全球各地有超過一億觀眾透過電視直播收看，但最具爭議性的可說是1970年於倫敦舉行的一屆…… 一個新組成的女權組織認為選美是貶低女性，因此極力反對，包括 莎莉亞歷山大 (姬拉麗莉 飾) 在內的成員不但在比賽前多次在街頭示威抗議，更於比賽期間在眾目睽睽下衝上舞台，擾亂和阻礙比賽進行。雖然她們立即就被逐離場，而比賽亦繼續進行，但更觸動觀眾神經的一幕卻隨即上映：當晚奪冠的佳麗竟然不是大熱的瑞典小姐，而是來自西印度群島島國格林納達的 珍妮花賀斯頓 (古古安芭塔羅 飾)，以黑馬之姿成為史上首位獲勝的黑人女性。就在短短一小時內，全球觀眾親眼目睹父權主義被公然挑戰，西方審美觀亦被全然顛覆，一場選美翻起千重浪，亦為女權運動打下漂亮的一仗。

SHORT SYNPOSIS

In 1970, the Miss World competition took place in London, hosted by US comedy legend, Bob Hope. At the time, Miss World was the most-watched TV show on the planet with over 100 million viewers. Claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women, the newly formed Women’s Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. Not only that, when the show resumed, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada, the first black woman to be crowned Miss World. In a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.
