What’s Your Point, Honey? – a documentary film about how young women
view themselves in today’s political world – will make its broadcast
debut on NYC life (Channel 25) on Monday, March 15 at 8pm in
celebration of Women’s History Month. NYC life is part of the official
television network of the City of New York.

Since the 2008 presidential election as the nation discussed when a
woman would be elected president, New York filmmakers Amy Sewell (Mad
Hot Ballroom) and Susan Toffler (The Cost of Living) decided to take
the discussion about the current social and political status of the
women’s movement to the next level by looking to a new generation of
young women.

What’s Your Point, Honey? follows seven diverse young women, who
aspire to one day lead the country and were placed in high-powered
summer internships in various professions and industries in New York
City by a Cosmo!Girl magazine "contest" called Project 2024. The plan
is that by the year 2024, these young women will grace the
presidential debate podiums.

What’s Your Point, Honey? puts a face on the leadership and
possibilities coming down the pipeline for young women while revealing
the obstacles they still face today. Two other age groups, teens and
tweens, weave in and out of the story to add their generations' take
on the topic.

Three study guides accompany the documentary -- College Study Guide
// Middle and High School Study Guide // Viewers Guide (for the
general audience), and can be downloaded from ‘honey stuff’ section of
www.whatsyourpointhoney.com.

Following the debut on NYC life on March 15, additional encores of the
film will air on Tuesday, March 16 at 2 am, Friday, March 19 at 12:30
pm and Saturday, March 20 at 8 am. Check nyc.gov/media for local cable
