About this Event
In the 1960s, at the height of the Mad Men era, Jule Campbell shattered glass ceilings
by transforming a struggling magazine into a media empire: the Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Issue, the most anticipated annual publication. Chic and controversial, the
mastermind behind this titillating page-turner was a creative trailblazer who
navigated a male-dominated workplace while simultaneously rebuffing accusations of
objectification. Campbell transformed the magazine with her vision to showcase
female beauty in a tasteful, artistic manner. Daughter-in-law Jill’s documentary
chronicles her 32-year reign, where she championed intelligence and empowered
supermodels like Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, Roshumba Williams, and many others
who recall the era and working with her. Weaving together her journey with feminism’s
evolution, the film explores the changing gaze on beauty, from objectification to body
positivity. Through stunning visuals and intimate interviews with a wise, nonagenarian
Campbell herself, we witness a legacy that continues to inspire.
