Has anyone seen this documentary?  I am looking for something to share with
young women (16-22) who are interested in expanding their body awareness and
views about their breasts and bodies.  Would this be inappropriate or not?

Breasts, an hour-long documentary, consists of interviews with twenty-two
women - ages 6 to 84-years-old - discussing how breasts play a crucial role
in the experiences of puberty, motherhood, sex, health, and aging.
Interspersed throughout the documentary are segments of breast-related
archival footage including a racy 1920s animated cartoon, a 1950s beauty
pageant, and a 1970s bra commercial.
The participants, most of whom appear topless, represent a wide range of
age, size, race and background. They include an 11-year-old on the verge of
puberty; a breast-feeding mother; a 24-year-old with a breast reduction; a
stripper with implants; two women with mastectomies; the self-proclaimed
leader of the "Strong Breast Revolution"; a beautiful transsexual; a
49-year-old who is concerned about the safety of her silicone implants; a
420-pound comedienne; and two mother-daughter pairs. Their candid thoughts
are humorous, moving, and often surprising.
Spadola found her subjects by distributing "breast questionnaires"
throughout New York City in doctors' offices, youth centers, schools, strip
clubs and elsewhere. Over two hundred women (and one man) responded. The
interviews were filmed by an all-women crew.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
